2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 118y |
11st 7lb |
Last year's winner took well to fences this season, finishing second in Limerick Grade 2 over Christmas before going one better in similar company at Thurles (2m5f, yielding) in January; right at her best back hurdling in Grade 1 Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham when a clear staying-on second to Wodhooh (beaten 1l) having allowed winner first run (good); cheekpieces now fitted for the rematch. |

5-7 over hurdles; second to stablemate Lossiemouth in this last year before a Grade 1 win at the Punchestown festival, her second success at the top level; has taken well to fences this winter, finishing second in Limerick Grade 2 over Christmas before going one better in similar company at Thurles (2m5f, yielding) in January; most consistent and looks sure to go well back hurdling. |

5-7 over hurdles; second to stablemate Lossiemouth at Cheltenham last March before Grade 1 win at the Punchestown festival, her second success at top level; jumped untidily at times and more broadly disappointing on chase debut at Cork; showed sufficient improvement when second at Limerick to suggest she can beat the winner's stablemate Tareze. |

Course bumper winner (16.5f, soft) got off the mark in this sphere in a 2m4f Fairyhouse maiden in April (form hasn't worked out); unseated on chase debut on latest at Tipperary in May; this looks a tough task on handicap debut. |

Bolted up on sole point-to-point start; bumper winner; consistent hurdler who got off the mark in Fairyhouse maiden (2m4f, yielding) last month; could develop into a fine chaser. |

Promising debut at Down Royal was followed by another respectable effort at Leopardstown when third in a 16-runner contest, though beaten 26l behind the smart Jade De Grugy; again beaten a long way when fifth in a 2m3f maiden at Naas; capable of featuring in a race of this standard. |

Better chaser than hurdler; couple of wins over 2m6f last summer, but much stiffer task here after a layoff and O'Keeffe prefers yard's other runner. |

Any or all of the returning cheekpieces, switch back from fences and career-low mark inspired this month's Market Rasen success (2m7f, soft); worse off with near-4l third Ramo following a 2lb rise, but value for further that day having idled late and live claims again here. |

Some promise in three maidens, notably when staying on late into fourth of 16 at this venue (16.5f, heavy) in February; looked a potential improver on handicap debut but that didn't come to fruition; the jury is out. |

Leopardstown handicap hurdle winner in March 2024 (3m, soft to heavy); still in contention when falling at Cork on second chase start in November (2m5f, yielding); tailed off at Down Royal last time (2m4f, good to yielding); may do better in these conditions on handicap chase debut. |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 125y |

Went 0-7 over hurdles but has soon raised his profile over fences, winning well at Fairyhouse (3m, soft) and third in a Grade 2 at Punchestown; outstayed over C&D latest when 6.5l off Flicker Of Hope, so has a bit to do despite being 3lb better off with that rival. |

0-7 over hurdles but in the first three on five occasions and rated 120; testing ground fine and stamina not in question but lacks a run and wears a tongue tie for the first time so probably best watched in first chase. |

11st 12lb |
Irish hunter chase winner who has gone very close on both starts for this stable, beaten a neck at Fontwell (3m2f, good) and by a short head at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) nine days later; up in class but looks to have a strong chance of doubling his chase tally. |

Every chance but couldn't quite get past when suffering an odds-on defeat on this month's Fontwell stable debut (3m2f), though did at least record a clear personal best good-ground effort there; 4lb well in as a result, but today's contest has a little bit more depth to it for the grade. |
