J: Dylan Whelan

T: Henry De Bromhead

Bumper winner on good to yielding; 0-5 over hurdles and rated 113; leading claims on the form of his maiden hurdle runs at Naas and Navan last year but bitterly disappointing in both starts in handicaps in 2026; huge chance if he can rediscover best but comes with risks attached.

Debut Bellewstown bumper winner in 2024 (2m1f, good to yielding); showed promise in a couple of maidens last season but returned from a 380-day absence for his first handicap at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding to soft) and was tailed off; may do better with that run under his belt; cheekpieces on.

Form & Verdict
Gatewood 5yo is half-brother to bumper/2m-3m hurdle winner Papal Lodge; 66-1 chance when running a cracker on last month's Down Royal maiden hurdles debut, plenty green but staying on well into a clear second; connections seemingly keen to preserve his maiden status and big player now switched to bumper.

J: Sean Flanagan

Stamina to prove and he failed to threaten when ninth in the Grand Annual last month; however, Cheltenham may not be his track (also not at his best there last October) and he showed improved form to win a competitive handicap at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) in December; only seven and there have been hints that this sort of trip may suit; no surprise to see him go well.

Switched to fences last August and he's been progressive, winning a competitive handicap at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) in December and solid third of 14 there (2m1f, soft) last month; today's likely return to better ground could be a plus and this 7yo remains open to further improvement; chance.

1-10 over hurdles; already a much better chaser; won 2m2f Sligo beginners' event in October; struggled at Cheltenham later that month; slotted into handicap company effectively with a C&D win at Christmas at a time when the stable was generally struggling for form; can continue to improve; Thyestes-winning rider takes the sting out of 10lb rise.

Kirkistown point-to-point winner (good-to-yielding) shaped well in both maiden hurdle runs earlier this season on soft, at Roscommon and when fifth in stronger 2m4f Punchestown contest, none too fluent at times; switches to bumper here with a tongue tie fitted and has to be respected.

Ex-Irish 7yo who is 2-3 for new stable, the wins in Class 5 handicaps at Lingfield (2m3f) and Leicester (2m4f) in December; now 7lb higher and upped in grade but may well improve further; helps to give Ben Pauling a robust hand.

Back on song in refitted cheekpieces at Southwell (3m, good) in March, his third start for Caroline Fryer, and the form of his respectable fourth at Fakenham (2m7f, good) last month was well advertised by the winner there on Monday; not yet fully exposed as a stayer; probably won't be far away.

Runner-up to a now 140-rated hurdler in Oldtown point-to-point last season before fetching 370,000gns at Cheltenham Sales; odds-on for rules debut in Fairyhouse bumper in February but didn't get home under a positive ride when third to a decent type on heavy; quicker ground and a sharper track here.
