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. |

11st 7lb |
Irish challenger whose sole success came in a Limerick maiden on his hurdles debut in May 2024; placed five times last term and returns to this discipline after a couple of unsuccessful runs over fences this month; win record is offputting. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |

Sole success came in a Limerick maiden hurdle in May 2024; placed several times since and made a promising debut over fences when fourth of 12 at Wexford (2m, good to yielding) 16 days ago; should win races but up against a serious rival here. |

Sole win came in 2m Limerick maiden hurdle two years ago; consistent placed form in handicap hurdles last year, well below best last month at Plumpton; straight into handicap company for chase debut and inexperience a concern. |

One of two runners for yard; bumper and maiden hurdle winner for John Queally has had seven chase runs, with best effort a close second at Tipperary last year; has a shout if at his best on return for a new yard. |

Bumper and maiden hurdle winner had been running with credit on the Flat earlier this year; best effort over fences when second in a Tipperary beginners' in July; still had a chance when falling at Galway since; can be involved. |

Bumper and maiden hurdle winner has run respectably in defeat on the Flat before running his best race over fences when second in a 2m Tipperary beginners' last time; should be involved with a repeat of that. |

Moderate form overall; his 9l third of 16 at Fairyhouse (2m4f, soft) in January was a decent effort; had excuse for poor chase run there next time; distant fifth here over hurdles on latest (2m7f); place chance. |

Best run was his debut when competitive at his late point of departure in a Bellewstown maiden; given a lot to do when seventh at Downpatrick last time (16l off the winner); couldn't dismiss. |

C&D maiden hurdle winner; gained second career win at Downpatrick off 3lb lower last summer; 8l behind Avalo at Punchestown in May (2m, yielding); close second to Chanceawetmorning at Clonmel later that month; 2m6f too far but still ran well latest; chance back in trip. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 159y |

Useful mare; went a bit high in the ratings after winning at Downpatrick last June; now back on a mark only one pound higher and holds a big chance in this company on the strength of her third placing in a 24-runner contest at the Punchestown festival. |
5/1 |
Verdict
A competitive enough opener. The booking of Paul Townend for Jet Setting Jim on his hurdles debut looks significant while Theflyingbee looks good enough to get involved with normal improvement. A chance is taken with BREAK THE BOUNDARY, who divided two highly rated chasers in a Cork hunter chase on Monday and looks promising. [Justin O’Hanlon]
