11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Won Limerick Listed bumper two years ago and a cracking effort when third in the Champion Bumper (good to soft; Sortudo and No Drama This End behind) at last season's Cheltenham Festival; disappointed on first two starts over hurdles but he rediscovered his groove in a newly fitted tongue-tie when second to King Rasko Grey at Limerick (2m, soft to heavy) in December before beating 15 others to win at Naas (about 2m2f, heavy) last time; this forecast better ground should be fine and he's not one to dismiss lightly. |

Dual bumper winner and third in last year's Cheltenham bumper; two disappointing hurdle runs before a much better effort at when chasing home a Willie Mullins-trained horse at Limerick last time; the third horse had won a bumper for Mullins, and fourth-placed I Started A Joke was odds-on when winning at Punchestown subsequently. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Grade 2 bumper winner at Leopardstown the season before last, and third in the Grade 1 Champion Bumper at Punchestown; got off the mark over hurdles on fourth start at Fairyhouse; raced too keenly and paid the price when fading late into fifth in a novice contest at the Punchestown festival; capable of being in the mix in this company. |

Top bumper performer; won Leopardstown Grade 2 (2m, soft) in February last year; good third behind Bambino Fever at the Punchestown festival next time; beaten 9l by Koktail Brut (now rated 139) at Punchestown on hurdling debut when Splendid Fellow was a remote third; has failed to match that form in outings at Navan and Naas. |

Just held on when scoring at Punchestown (2m3f, gd-yld) in June off 92; weakened late over 2m4f off 3lb higher at Wexford latest; not sure this step up in trip will suit on that evidence. |

Has run well the last twice since returning from a break; particularly when pulling 25L clear with one other when second at Wexford last time; raised 6lb for that but she appears to have responded well to the application of blinkers and she may get her day in the sun here; jockey has plenty of point-to-point experience. |

Maiden was third in consecutive handicaps over 2m1f at Wexford in July but has been below that level twice since, including at Gowran last week; needs more. |

4th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 50y |
11st 10lb |
Chased home a clear winner in a Limerick maiden in November (yielding) and has run encouragingly in Wexford handicaps over the summer on good ground, filling the frame twice; recent Bellewstown effort was a step backwards, but in the mix if at his best, although softer conditions would raise a doubt. |

Dual handicap winner and better than ever when third of 23 at Leopardstown over Christmas (good to yielding); slower ground not ideal since then and could be a factor here in first-time cheekpieces. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 10y |
10st 9lb |
Gained second handicap win off 104 at Cork in November (2m, yielding); well beaten at Punchestown next time but improved for step up in trip when staying on third of 23 at Leopardstown in December (20.5f, good to yielding); weakened into a 20l fifth of ten at Thurles (2m7f, heavy); better chance if the ground dries out. |

Won off 1lb lower at Kilbeggan in August (2m, good to yielding); no major impact in four starts since, but was staying on well when sixth of 18 at Punchestown last time (2m1f, yielding); withdrawn due to unsuitable ground last month for soft to heavy ground at Thurles, so may want ground to dry out here. |
