Dual hurdle winner last season on good-to-yielding; safely held in quality beginners' chases; 3-1 favourite for handicap chase debut at Fairyhouse (2m1f, soft) last time when kept on for third, 11l behind the winner; step up in trip should help, as should this better ground; chance. |

Admirably consistent handicapper who didn't run too badly when midfield in the County Hurdle last month; however, this is a step up the ladder for him and regular rider Jack Kennedy evidently prefers the chances of The Yellow Clay. |

Big improver in recent months, winning strong 2m Leopardstown handicaps at the Christmas meeting (yielding) and at the Dublin Racing Festival (heavy); will need to improve again to complete a hat-trick of big-field successes but that can't be ruled out in his current mood. |

Arguably a shade unlucky when a beaten favourite in the County Hurdle but rider reported that he stopped quickly when soundly beaten at Fairyhouse last time; Townend jumps ship; needs to rediscover best. |

Smart novice hurdler last season (placed in Grade 1s) and, although defeated at short odds, produced a career-best RPR when second in 2m Naas Grade 3 (heavy) on return from nine months off; beaten favourite in County Hurdle latest but steady pace and not clear run didn't suit so sixth of 23 was a solid run in the circumstances; Townend's pick. |

Smart novice hurdler last season (placed in Grade 1s) and, although defeated at short odds, produced a career-best RPR when 1l second in 2m Naas Grade 3 (heavy) on return from nine months off; entitled to build on that effort and is of major interest in his first handicap, with Paul Townend seemingly preferring him to Murcia and Absurde. |

Readily made all in Kilbeggan maiden when upped to 3m1f in August and followed up on handicap debut at Roscommon (3m, good to yielding) in September; even better form in defeat later in the autumn, including fifth of 17 in a notably strong 3m Cheltenham handicap on good; returns from a four-month break as a 6yo who could easily have more to offer. |

Readily made all in Kilbeggan maiden (good to yielding) when upped to 3m1f in August and followed up on last month's handicap debut at Roscommon (3m, good to yielding; first-time cheekpieces); upped significantly in grade here but no surprise if he features. |

29th Sep 2025 Yielding 3m 0f 25y |

The step up to 3m1f saw this gelding get his head in front in a Kilbeggan maiden; he was getting 8lb from the 110 rated runner up who he beat by 4.5l; probably needs to improve again on handicap debut; cheekpieces go on. |

Maiden hurdle winner made a very pleasing start to her chasing career at Killarney (2m5f, gd-yld) when a 0.5l second of 12 on return from 283 days off under a positive ride; obvious chance if building on that. |

Back-to-back winner of handicap hurdle at Roscommon and Galway last summer, both at around 2m on good ground; testing conditions were against him at Navan in February; harder to excuse a poor Downpatrick run; unplaced at Kilbeggan last time; could make a summer chaser but will probably need to gain experience. |

21st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 7f 150y |
11st 8lb |
Cork handicap hurdle winner (3m1f, soft) built upon a decent chasing debut to win a Fairyhouse novice chase by 14l next time (2m6f, yielding); looked bred to stay 3m2f trip in a Fairyhouse novice chase last time but weakened into third behind Rokathir and Maxi Mac Gold; based on that, drop to this trip seems the right move, and it's still early day over fences; interesting. |

Fourth on chasing debut at Cork when 8-1, with Showurappreciation 19.5l behind him that day; sent off favourite in a novice contest here last time (2m5f, yielding) and won easily by 14l; he's closely related to Irish National winner Our Duke so should enjoy this trip and the ground should be no cause for concern either. |
