Listowel maiden hurdle winner last autumn and some solid efforts in decent company since; however, is held by several of these on that form and looks a place prospect at best. |

31st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 190y |
11st 6lb |
Good bit of experience for a 5yo, including Galway Hurdle third and on last month's return from a break when scoring for third time over timber with career-best in valuable 2m Listowel handicap under a positive ride; likely major threat to same owner's The Yellow Clay with possible race-fitness edge and getting 8lb. |

1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Lightly raced since winning a Listed handicap here in September 2024; back from an absence, he was a much bigger price than Putapoundinthejar at Punchestown in April and duly finished well behind the Martin horse. |

10st 0lb |
No joy since winning a listed handicap hurdle at Listowel in September 2024 off 6lb lower; 1lb wrong here and lacks a recent run; rider's claim a plus but others make more appeal. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 150y |
10st 9lb |
0-28 under rules and 0-8 in chases but has run well in defeat on occasion in this sphere; decent fourth at Leopardstown (21.5f, yielding) in March; 8l second at Down Royal (3m2f, good) in April; modest fifth at Perth latest; needs to find more to get his head in front. |

12st 0lb |
27-race maiden; last two efforts were respectable, including when runner-up at Down Royal (3m2f, good; beaten 8l) over a month ago; others make more appeal for win purposes. |

Verdict
Winner of his only Flat start in 2023, CASHELDALE LAD overcame a long absence to win a Gowran maiden in good style despite some sloppy jumping. Given normal improvement, he should account for the 125-rated pair A Tipp For Gold and Frankendael. [Alan Sweetman]
