In good form in the autumn, winning Clonmel handicap chase (good) over this trip and following up in 2m Tipperary handicap hurdle; hat-trick foiled off 9lb higher mark in 2m Naas handicap chase when jumped right; bit to prove now but return to this trip and ground should suit. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 3lb |
Decent performer at a modest enough level, three hurdle wins and twice successful over fences off lower marks this term in Limerick handicaps, most recently last month when patiently-ridden to lead two out for ready 11l win (2m4f, soft); up 9lb but remains 10lb lower than hurdles so remains very much of interest. |

7yo who showed improvement to win a handicap chase at Navan (2m1f, soft to heavy) last month and again ran well when 10l second of 12 at Fairyhouse (2m, soft) a fortnight ago behind a well-backed winner; 2lb wrong at the weights today but this Irish challenger could have more to offer and is respected. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 140y |
11st 2lb |
Dual hurdles winner is proving a better chaser, winning 2m2f Limerick novice and most recently career-best in landing 2m1f Navan handicap last month (soft-to-heavy) under today's rider; bit to find with Jigoro on earlier Gowran running but progressing and can be involved off 5lb higher. |

Dual hurdles winner got off the mark over fences at Limerick over Christmas in a novice contest (2m2f, soft to heavy); solid second over hurdles at Naas following that but poor next time; returned to fences at Gowran last time when weakened into an 8.25l fifth (2m, heavy); others preferred. |

Back from a spell chasing with a solid effort at Downpatrick (2m6f, good), beaten just 1.25l into second of 10; nudged up 2lb, so remains 8lb above sole success, but yard red hot so should be on the premises again. |
