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. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 3 |
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 |
10st 5lb |
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. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 120y |
11st 12lb |
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. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 120y |

Bumper and maiden hurdle winner has run respectably in three Flat starts lately against smart rivals; had every chance on chasing debut in this race last year when falling at the last; decent efforts on two of three chase runs since; a shout. |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 60y |
10st 8lb |
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. |

Moderate form overall but his 9l third of 16 over hurdles here last month was his best performance; lightly raced for his age and makes chasing debut now from 2lb outside the handicap; others preferred. |

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. |

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 |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |

Added a second hurdling win at Downpatrick last June off 2lb lower (2m3f, yielding to soft), but recent runs had gotten progressively worse until return to form of sorts at Bellewstown last month when an 8.5l third (2m1f, yielding). |
15/1 |

3rd 2 |
18th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |

Dual winning hurdler, with the latest win coming at Downpatrick last June off 3lb lower (2m3f, yielding to soft); good second at Navan in September (2m, soft to heavy) but performances have become progressively worse since and beaten 30l at Naas last time (2m3f, heavy). |
10/1 |
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]
