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. |

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. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 100y |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner in 2024 (yielding to soft); beaten 22l in seventh on handicap debut at Cork (2m3f, good) last time, jumping lacking fluency; more needed. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 50y |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner in 2024 (yielding to soft); returned from an absence in January when no match for subsequent Grade 1 winner Place De La Nation in a Fairyhouse conditions hurdle; poor back there next time, but more promising was her fifth of 16 there last month in a first-time tongue tie; yet to be seen if this opening mark is fair. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Limerick bumper winner last season (yielding-to-soft); returned from absence to chase home long odds-on winner in four-runner C&D mares' hurdle on New Year's Day; disappointing run here two months ago leaves her plenty to find with Alliteration; first time with a tongue-tie. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Delivered on earlier promise when winning four-runner Fakenham maiden (2m, good) last month, his fifth start over hurdles; contests much deeper race on this handicap debut but probably still has potential; one to consider. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Irish bumper winner who has finished second on two of his four hurdling starts for Olly Murphy, latterly in 18-runner Lingfield maiden (2m, soft) in January; below that form on heavy ground in February but this much quicker surface ought to suit him better; good chance. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Irish bumper winner; physical excuses came to light for his one poor run under rules and it was a respectable 2m maiden (soft) in which he ran second at Lingfield; every chance. |

Readily landed a bumper on debut at Cork 13 months ago; did not really step up on that in two subsequent runs; off for nine months but his best form is when fresh and the ground should be ideal. |

Grade 3 novice hurdle winner over 2m4f last season but is comfortable at this trip too; got off the mark over fences at Fairyhouse before winning a valuable Leopardstown handicap and Navan Grade 3, all over approx' 2m; fine fourth in the WillowWarm Gold Cup last time at 2m4f; can be involved. |
