21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 160y |
10st 1lb |
Winless in 31 attempts hurdling; 3-35 over fences, with two of those at Tramore; flopped when well fancied for course handicap hurdle in February; fair fifth over fences at Tramore last month. |

3-34 over fences, with two of those successes coming at this track, including when 33-1 chance in this race in 2023; creditable third in a 2m7f handicap chase here on New Year's Day; flopped when well fancied for a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time. |

Is 3-34 over fences; veteran's recent form is solid, featuring a third placing over C&D last month and a third in a handicap chase at Tramore on New Year's Day; 0-30 record over hurdles is a significant negative; rider's claim is an asset. |

Sprang a 25-1 surprise in this race in 2023, his only success from 67 appearances on the track, placed eight times; moderate fifth here in 2024 and pulled up in last year's edition; should be better for a recent point run, but up against it at the age of 13. |

Added a chase win to his brace of hurdle successes when winning at Kilbeggan in August (3m2f, good to yielding); ran respectably next time at Ballinrobe (2m7f, soft); tailed off at Killarney when last seen in October; reverts to hurdles now, and chance at his best. |

Hurdle winner at this track and opened his chase account with a neck success at Kilbeggan three weeks ago; may have won by further without an error in the closing stages and 5lb rise looks workable. |
