25th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 72y |
11st 2lb |
2-10 over hurdles and rated 143; Grade 1 novice winner at Fairyhouse in December 2023 but that was his last win in this sphere; vast majority of best form is on soft and heavy ground, so could probably do with some rain; would be getting 9lb from Daddy Long Legs in a handicap; place claims. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 75y |
11st 12lb |
Ran some fine races in defeat over hurdles last season including at this meeting; got off the mark in a Clonmel maiden last autumn and then took a Naas beginners' chase, easily beating Jacob's Ladder; just denied in the Grade 1 Racing Post Novice Chase at Christmas and put up a respectable effort in the Champion Chase last time; can be involved. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Very short on chasing experience, having raced just twice in this sphere, but by the same token looks open to any amount of further improvement despite being a 9yo (latecomer to this scene); close second, clear of remainder, in Grade 1 novice at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) when attempting to follow up his comfortable success in a Naas race that's worked out well; has shown good progress for current yard and looks interesting pitched into open company instead of bashing heads with similarly unexposed rivals in the Arkle. |

Placed in nine of his 11 races, including all three bumpers and his first three maiden hurdle starts; slotted into handicaps effectively last season; twice in the money at Leopardstown before set a tough task in the County Hurdle, stands out in this company on his Punchestown festival third behind the British-trained pair Ascending Lark and Wilful. |

Two hurdle wins arrived in 2024 on heavy ground; beaten 27l over fences at Clonmel (2m7f, soft) in April, but he was only 2l down when falling at the second last hurdle here (2m4f, soft to heavy) later that month; 3lb wrong. |

A major improver since joining Emmet Mullins, winning twice over hurdles in the autumn and now arrives here on a four-timer over fences after three wins at Thurles (2m5f-3m1f); tackling a different level of opposition now but Sean Bowen rides off a feather weight and he could be dangerous. |

Former winner for Michael Hourigan is having a very fruitful season, with back-to-back good to yielding hurdle wins (2m6f/2m7f) in September/October before disappointing at 11-10 at Clonmel next time; reverted to fences at this track for back-to-back wins off a much lower chasing mark most recently; things may be more difficult now following 15lb hit for easy win last time (3m1f, yielding). |

Won a Punchestown handicap hurdle in May (3m, good) off 84 and placed twice since then; made a positive chase debut at Wexford (2m4f, yielding) in April when third off this mark, but pulled up at Tramore next time after making a bad mistake; could go well. |
