11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Fourth behind two of these in 3m Grade 1 novice event at Cheltenham last March; ran creditably all three starts this winter, notably 11l fourth of 24 off this mark to Panic Attack at Newbury (3m2f) in November when he stuck to his task very well having been left at the shambolic start; improvement is needed but that race gave encouragement for longer trips and his dam is half-sister to Cappa Bleu who was placed in this race in 2012 and 2013. |

Novice wins came at up to 2m4f but some good runs over further, including latest when fourth of 24 in 3m2f Coral Gold Cup at Newbury in November on handicap debut; has form on heavy; should go well. |

Won a Grade 3 novice at Cork last year and flew home when beaten just 1l in fourth behind Croke Park and Firefox in the Drinmore; ran well enough in defeat when fourth in Grade 1 novice at Cheltenham; not as good at Punchestown in April; can go well if ready to rock on seasonal reappearance but wouldn't want too much rain. |

Bumper and maiden hurdle winner was mostly chasing without winning last term; posted a decent hurdling return at Listowel and the third home that day since won a nice pot at Bellewstown; can go well. |

Off the mark when showing improved form to beat a subsequent winner in 2m Punchestown maiden in February (heavy); place prospects when last-flight faller in 2m4f Perth handicap in April (soft) and has since left Willie Mullins; probably needs to improve to play a major role on yard debut. |

Scored at this venue on his chase debut in October 2024; soundly beaten by a longer-priced stablemate at Naas before out of the money at Leopardstown; missed all of 2025; could feature for top local and stable if fit and ready after long layoff. |

Is 0-15 over hurdles but has run well in defeat, including when a 6.5l fourth of 16 on latest over an inadequate 2m3f at Limerick (raised 2lb); stepping up to this trip will suit, good ground is fine and he holds leading claims. |
