29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 10lb |
Two chase wins including 2m6f handicap here in November (off 142) and at least as good form when staying-on fourth over same trip at the DRF; no match for stablemate Maxxum over 2m4f at Clonmel on latest; Jack Kennedy's pick. |

2nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y |

Won for the second time over fences when taking a Punchestown handicap on return last November; fourth in a valuable Leopardstown handicap since but was below form at Cheltenham last time; seems to be the yard's second string on riding arrangements but still respected. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Nearer last than first in the novice handicap chase (extended 2m4f) at the Cheltenham Festival last March but he's a better horse now, having won at Punchestown (about 2m5f, soft to heavy) in November and been close up in a big field at Leopardstown under similar conditions last month; even more needed and he might prefer slower ground than is likely today; yard runs two. |

Back to form with 1.75l front-running second over C&D on penultimate off this mark; never travelled and didn't jump well when poor at Wexford last time; cheekpieces replace blinkers; could rebound back at this venue. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |

Flat winner was successful over hurdles at Limerick in December 2024 off 7lb higher; moderate recent form until a change of tactics almost saw him make all at Tramore (2m1f, good to yielding) when headed late home in this headgear combination; could go one better if adopting the same tactics. |

Dual purpose; won a C&D maiden hurdle (yielding) in May 2024; raced exclusively on the Flat in 2026; cheekpieces replace blinkers worn for last two starts; worth a market check on return to hurdling. |

Flat/hurdle winner; seemingly perked up by the new blinkers when a rallying third at Dundalk 19 days ago (1m4f); whether he'll be as good again is open to some debate. |

Sole success for this yard came in Ballinrobe maiden hurdle in 2024; fine effort at big odds over C&D after long layoff in January when fourth to Voice Of Reason but unable to back that up in two subsequent starts; new headgear. |

Maiden hurdle winner ran well in a Naas handicap hurdle in February last year off 124 (2m7f, heavy); didn't set the world alight in beginners' chase starts, but much better in a novice chase at Fairyhouse last time (3m2f, heavy); kept on well to take the runner-up spot, 1l behind Rokathir with 3.75l back to Nelson County; jumped left throughout that day so this track can help, however slightly worse off at the weights now. |

Verdict
The bar isn’t set too high for recent bumper winner DEE CAPO and he can make a winning start over hurdles. Fellow hurdling debutant Maxi Mac Gold may pose a threat. [Mark Nunan]
