19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Very capable on the Flat and he won his last start in this sphere when landing a Downpatrick maiden hurdle (2m3f, good) in April 2024; patchy form in nine starts on the Flat since and he refused to race on both outings when last seen in October; stable debut. |

9st 11lb |
Tardy starts have been a common theme this season but he took even more drastic action at the Curragh last time when refusing to race; generally poor efforts this year but he finished a close third behind subsequent Ascot Stakes winner Ascending at Cork in May (1m4f, good); risky proposition. |

Tardy starts have been a recurring theme for this C&D winner (heavy); very slowly away again on latest at Down Royal (1m5f, yielding); can't afford to miss the break badly at this trip; capable but risky; cheekpieces left off. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 20y |
12st 0lb |
Downpatrick winner in June 2024 on good ground; ran only once last year; showed the benefit of a comeback run when beating Justicialism by 3l at Down Royal last month; rider reported he hung badly left at Downpatrick last time; decent chance if he handles this track. |

8th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 180y |
11st 13lb |
C&D winner in June 2024 on good ground; ran only once last year, fair fourth over C&D; showed the benefit of a comeback run when beating Justicialism by 3l at Down Royal last month; could be close in the rematch with that rival who was second again at Down Royal on Monday; Josh Williamson's claim a help. |

Sole hurdle win came at Downpatrick in 2024 over 2m6f; only two runs since then, both decent efforts over that same C&D, the latest two weeks ago; a player with improvement from that. |

Bumper winner here for Willie Mullins in 2022 and placed in Sligo maiden hurdle for James Nash following summer; hasn't progressed in restricted campaign though, absent since never counting over fences at Ballinrobe in July; hard to be confident in. |

Bumper winner for Willie Mullins and was close up in a maiden on debut for her next yard; hasn't built on that and looks best watched on handicap debut. |
