11st 10lb |
Won 2m maiden here in January (soft-to-heavy) and excellent run following month when favourite in very competitive 19-runner 2m Leopardstown handicap, going clear with winner from last; took another step forward when third to a top-class novice in 2m4f Grade 2 Fairyhouse novice on latest (Generous Risk second) in first-time cheekpieces, despite slipped saddle; good chance he'll improve again at 3m and don't rule out. |

11st 7lb |
By a Derby winner and there's lots of stamina on the dam's side of his pedigree; unraced beyond 2m2f under rules (did win a 3m point); maiden winner who was turned over at 8-11 last time, but in a messy race won by the classy Sober; he wouldn't be the first horse representing these connections to deliver a clear career best in this race. |

Half-brother to winners Classic Theatre (bumper and useful 2m-2m4f hurdler/chaser) and Miss Sassie (2m hurdle/2m4f chase); dam bumper winner, half-sister to high-class 2m4f-3m chaser Joncol; point-to-point winner last season for Cormac Doyle and having been touched off on bumper debut at Limerick in December went one better following month in similar contest (heavy); obvious appeal now sent hurdling. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |
11st 12lb |
Point-to-point and bumper winner; second on hurdling debut at the Listowel festival; made all for 8l Galway maiden win in October (2m); jumped well when same tactics employed to win a rated event over an extended 2m4f at Fairyhouse in November; lack of a recent run is a mild concern. |

Won a point-to-point and added a Limerick bumper in March (yielding); struggled at Punchestown afterwards but reappeared last month with good hurdling debut effort when chasing home an odds-on shot in Listowel auction maiden (good-to-yielding); major player. |

Won a 2m7f handicap chase here 12 months ago and took advantage of a lower hurdles mark at Punchestown in February before third in a similar event; added another chase win at Wexford in April before getting a break; interesting on his return, 11lb lower than chase rating and a good 5lb claimer aboard. |

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. |

11st 4lb |
Won three times (2m2f, 2m4f) when trained in Ireland last summer; unplaced in three valuable handicap hurdles (2m4f-2m7f) for new trainer this spring; the drop back in trip for his chasing debut may not be in his favour. |

2nd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 40y |

Heavy ground bumper winner who brings some solid maiden hurdle form to the table, notably at Fairyhouse in April (first-time cheekpieces) when third of 25 to a smart sort over 2m (fourth-placed Midfield Magic runs in 1.56). having made most on yielding-to-soft; major player if returning in that vein of form, although stamina remains unproven at 2m4f. |

Showed ability in bumpers last season for Pat Doyle; started this season well with an emphatic bumper win at Limerick in November on heavy; kept good company in two races in winners' bumpers for this stable (last of seven in Grade 2 at DRF); well held by Newbrook Diamond on the form of hurdles debut at Punchestown. |

Definite promise last season in a Naas bumper (18.5f, sft-hvy) and when meeting traffic problems in a 2m3f Clonmel maiden hurdle (heavy); last run in April in a Fairyhouse bumper too bad to be true; lacks a recent run, stamina to prove and might prefer softer ground than this. |
