Won a 2m4f Kilbeggan handicap last time on similar ground; is up 6lb and has questions over this trip as he failed to see out 3m2f at Down Royal two starts back. |

Now 0-10 over fences having been an unplaced favourite over a longer trip at Down Royal 12 days ago; this is probably closer to his optimum distance; first reserve. |

Winning hurdler is 0-9 over fences but has run well in defeat; took third here on St Stephen's Day (2m5f, good to yielding) and 11l behind in fourth last time (2m5f, yielding to soft); tries this trip for the first time; place chance. |

11st 9lb |
Ex-Henry de Bromhead; won a Warwick handicap hurdle on second start for Adrian Keatley in March (2m, good to soft; cheekpieces tried and retained) but pulled up on soft ground at Ayr last time; had four runs over fences in Ireland, best two runs when fourth in a couple of 2m3f handicaps at Wexford in August (good); interesting. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Maiden winner in Ireland and later placed in handicaps over fences; only his second run for this yard when dropped back to 2m in this new headgear combination at Warwick (good to soft) and he made pretty much every yard; it will be tougher dominating this stronger field on this more galloping track, and he's 6lb higher. |

Maiden winner in Ireland and later placed in handicaps over fences; strong in the betting on last month's stable debut (2m4f; back hurdling) and weakened after getting taken on a good way out; new headgear combination tried and he's of interest. |

Record of 2-32 on the Flat; best of three maiden hurdle runs was when third at Downpatrick over 2m2f; was keen and not all that fluent last time; this trip is a question. |

Dual Flat winner although tricky as well (twice refused to race); best around a mile on the level but seems to stay okay; two nice runs over hurdles, placed over a bit further at Dowwnpatrick last month. |

Limited ability as a Flat handicapper (2-32); refused to race (not the first time) at Bellewstown in July; plenty of improvement needed from last month's hurdling debut at Kilbeggan. |

Made the breakthrough under this rider at the 15th attempt at Punchestown in December (3m, heavy) when making all in first-time cheekpieces; up 5lb and beaten 16l at Punchestown last time (2m7f, heavy); capable of more. |

Back-to-back runner-up finishes at Punchestown at the end of last year/new year were the best of his handicap efforts; three runs since then have been disappointing, finished 24l behind at Wexford last time; can get involved at his best but risky. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Seemingly aided by first-time visor when winning basement-grade AW race in February but was below that form on latest Flat start, and this is his first hurdle run since he was pulled up here (2m4f, good) on handicap debut last June; no headgear today; others have more pressing claims. |

Finally off the mark when beating Desiderata at Wolverhampton a month ago; always in the right place in a messy affair (first-time visor) that night and history suggests he's no good thing to reproduce the effort. |

27th Oct 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Two wins on the Flat, rated as high as 95 when with Sir Mark Prescott; a long way below that in a Flat event at Listowel a month ago; took well enough to hurdling in four outings between March and June, best effort when second at Punchestown in May; let down by his jumping at Downpatrick in September; good chance if producing his best on first-time cheekpieces. |

20th Sep 2024 Good 2m 1f 165y |

Won a twice on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott and has made the frame on all four starts over hurdles; weak finishing effort at Punchestown in June provides cause for concern, but looks the clear pick of these runners based on his Naas third in April and Punchestown second in May. |

10th Oct 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 65y |

One of three for yard; Flat winner (two on soft-heavy) is 0-8 over timber but he ran better on yielding ground at Killarney last time when a warm order but relegated to third place late on (no chance with winner); can build on that effort. |
