Maiden hurdle winner who hadn't offered a lot in handicaps until finishing second at Bangor when well backed (2m7f, good to soft); led two out there before folding late on and now goes in cheekpieces; considered. |

0-12 over hurdles but has run well in defeat; beaten 7.5l into fourth of 12 off 88 over 2m3f here on penultimate and is now 3lb lower; 3m may have stretched him last time; leading chance dropped back in trip. |

Ex-Irish maiden; didn't run too badly on her debut for Olly Murphy (2m4f) but was tailed off next time and unwise to blame that on the 2m7f; others safer after another change of yard. |

10st 0lb |
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. |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 60y |

Dual-winning hurdler has largely struggled this term and was pushed along vigorously over fences on latest at Clonmel; Jack Kennedy has been booked though, so he's worth a market check. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Irish raider; 13-race maiden whose best effort came over hurdles when a close second at Tramore (2m5f, good) last August, but three attempts over fences have seen her pulled up twice and tailed off once; Sean Bowen booked and, while a return to better ground and handicap company may help, she still has plenty to prove. |

Ran well at Kilbeggan in June but well below that level the last twice; beaten 29l on latest at Down Royal; dropped 2lb but remains 6lb above her sole success; may need more respite from the handicapper. |

10st 0lb |
Improved dramatically from a low base to record four wins in 2025 including 2m Tramore handicap chase in October; also good second in 2m Navan handicap chase, possibly found 3m4f stamina test too much at Punchestown latest; 4lb wrong here but could go well if she stays. |
