27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Grade 2 bumper winner at Leopardstown the season before last, and third in the Grade 1 Champion Bumper at Punchestown; got off the mark over hurdles on fourth start at Fairyhouse; raced too keenly and paid the price when fading late into fifth in a novice contest at the Punchestown festival; capable of being in the mix in this company. |

Grade 2 bumper winner last year was then third in the Grade 1 Champion Bumper at this meeting; got off the mark over hurdles on fourth start at Fairyhouse last time; looks a major player. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Top bumper performer; won Leopardstown Grade 2 (2m, soft) in February last year; good third behind Bambino Fever at the Punchestown festival next time; beaten 9l by Koktail Brut (now rated 139) at Punchestown on hurdling debut when Splendid Fellow was a remote third; has failed to match that form in outings at Navan and Naas. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Runner-up to Bambino Fever in last year's Champion Bumper; won on hurdle debut at Listowel (2m, good-to-yielding) before 3l second to subsequent Challow Hurdle winner No Drama This End in Grade 2 at Cheltenham (2m5f, soft); much too free and jumped untidily in a similar Cheltenham race in January; back to form in winning a four-runner Punchestown event. |

5th 4 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up in the Champion Bumper here (2m, good to soft) last March and won on hurdle debut at Listowel before 3l second in Grade 2 here (2m5f, soft), behind No Drama This End who won the Grade 1 Challow last month; this front-runner is open to improvement if settling better and he's a key player. |

25th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Only 1-5 in bumpers but finished second in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in March and that form sets him apart in this company, for all that he was no doubt flattered after racing prominently off slow fractions; hard to oppose on hurdling debut. |

4th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Consistent sort won two bumpers and placed in another two; the best of three maiden hurdle runs came on testing ground at Clonmel last time over nearly 2m4f; that is solid form and he is a big player if staying this trip. |
2/1 |

1st 5 |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Killarney winner in May and then third in a maiden hurdle; back to bumpers on his return to Killarney and ran well behind the favourite who made all; one formline through that race gives him a similar sort of chance to Starting Fifteen. |
5/1 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 100y |
12st 0lb |
Winner of one of his two bumper runs; well backed to win over C&D in May following some placed efforts over hurdles and in a bumper at Galway; another good run at Cork last time over hurdles when making some errors but finishing third (2m1f, good); should be thereabouts. |

Soundly beaten in two bumpers and three maiden hurdles so isn't easy to make a case for in another maiden. |

11st 9lb |
Second in a Listowel bumper (soft) in 2024 on debut; ordinary hurdles form overall; fourth over 2m here six weeks ago was reasonably promising after a break; one for the shortlist. |

4th 6 |
16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 50y |

Second in a Listowel bumper (soft) in 2024 on debut; best hurdles run when fifth (beaten 6.5l) in a handicap at same venue last September; absent since below-par run here at Christmas, needs to find more. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 4lb |
Killarney handicap winner in October (2m7f, yielding) and took advantage of lower hurdles mark at Punchestown in February before third in a similar event; well-backed favourite back chasing last month, disputing lead (clear of remainder) when unseating two out at Limerick (2m2f, heavy); remains very much of interest off 2lb higher mark. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 185y |
10st 10lb |
Killarney chase winner in October (2m7f, yielding); went close to following up at Punchestown (3m, heavy); pulled up in a 2m6f contest at this venue at Christmas; took advantage of a lower hurdles mark at Punchestown last month; third in a similar event at that venue last time; back over fences now, trip possibly a bit sharp for him. |

4th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 17y |

Chase winner was pulled-up in that sphere last time; runs off a much lower hurdles mark but is 1lb out of the handicap and will have to get back to his best form. |

29th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 50y |

Final maiden effort wasn't his best but he was bang there in a Naas race in December and now goes in blinkers on handicap debut; could be interesting. |

Plenty keen in maidens, will need to settle better to make an impact on handicap debut (hood back on) and market could prove informative. |

Relished good ground last summer when winning over hurdles at this course and Ballinrobe and ran well in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick off 110; unseated when in contention three out at Tramore on chase debut; clear of the third when no match for a warm favourite over C&D 16 days ago; could be hard to beat now. |

Relished good ground last summer when winning over hurdles at this course and Ballinrobe and ran well in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick off 110; unseated when in contention three out at Tramore 25 days ago on chase debut; definite chance again for in-form trainer. |

Won over hurdles at Kilbeggan and Ballinrobe on good ground early in the season; absent since last August; soft going may not be ideal for his chasing debut. |
