1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 120y |
11st 11lb |
Point-to-point winner has generally struggled under Rules; beaten 62l in a Wexford novice when last seen in May; hard to fancy on handicap chase debut with blinkers replacing cheekpieces. |

Point-to-point winner is 0-5 chasing, twice highly tried in graded company and most recently brought down halfway in Killarney handicap on Monday; up against it here. |

26th Apr 2025 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
0-14 since bumper win in 2022; fourth and second in the last two Scottish Nationals, latterly off a reduced mark when wearing second-time cheekpieces two weeks ago; while that was a welcome return to form, position 12lb out of the handicap today demands so much more; 5lb claimer is called up. |

12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Won a bumper three years ago but 0-13 since; competitive over fences last season and his 6l fourth at 50-1 in this race (soft; 8lb lower today) last April reads well, but a poor sequence since was not greatly improved by his eighth when wearing first-time cheekpieces in last month's 3m6f NH Chase. |

Maiden was remote fourth in this last year on handicap debut and chased home well-treated rival at Navan (3m) next time; not matched that since, fair run at Tramore last time. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Gifted a 2m4f Uttoxeter race two starts back (soft), and 3m was clearly too far last time; not wholly convincing, but his one win on merit came at this time of year in 2024 on good (2m4f); tongue-tie added. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo; well held in his first three runs for Dan Skelton and he was around 17l down when he was gifted a race here (2m4f, soft) two weeks ago; this is a deeper contest and he has work to do to back up in trip. |
8/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Well treated on best Irish form but has rather lost his way, latterly for new stable; best watched unless the market suggests a resurgent display is likely. |

Verdict
He’s no superstar in the Mullins yard but KLARC KENT ran to a decent level behind a useful winner at Punchestown and has been found a very weak contest. Barring mishaps, he should oblige. Modest hurdler Jasmin De Cotte is bred for this discipline and cost plenty after finishing second in a point-to-point. He can contend with modest handicapper Starlight Cato for minor honours.
