Made his debut only a month ago but was hugely impressive at Navan (soft to heavy) in comfortably disposing of experienced opposition (who had shown plenty of ability) by a widening 5l, and so strong was he through the line that Patrick Mullins had a job pulling him up; that performance was evidently not unexpected after going off favourite (9-4) and the vibes emanating out of a yard that's farmed this race bode well; given that ten winners of this contest had raced only once, there's no knocking inexperience. |

From a good family and placed both starts in bumpers; chased home the highly regarded Copacabana over this C&D last month; different ground here but he sets the standard on form; the one to beat if handling conditions. |

Bumper and maiden hurdle win came on very testing ground at Navan in February (2m); didn't count on last month's chase debut at Kilbeggan, but entitled to come on for the experience. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner, coming in easy success in very testing ground at Navan in February; consistent in maidens and handicaps prior to to being tailed off at Cork 71 days ago; rated 123 over hurdles and should have place claims if transferring form to fences. |
7/1 |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 190y |
11st 10lb |
Leopardstown maiden winner has contested Grade 1 novices all three starts since, notably remote fifth to Doctor Steinberg at same venue and better form on latest at Aintree in 3m1f Sefton Novices' when decent fourth in first-time cheekpieces (good-to-soft); this probably a stronger race so more needed. |

Talented Irish raider but with questions to answer at this level having twice finished well beaten in Grade 1s (2m4f/2m6f) since winning a maiden at Leopardstown over Christmas; the cheekpieces are new. |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 4lb |
His second run back from an absence when breezing home at odds-on in a 2m soft-ground maiden at Tramore; he no doubt has plenty more to offer; this longer trip should be up his street. |

1st 11 |
19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced 6yo showed definite ability in bumpers for Dermot McLoughlin, notably in decent Navan contest (soft-to-heavy); returned from over year's absence for current yard last month when hooded in 2m Clonmel maiden hurdle, staying on third behind an odds-on shot (soft); hood left off here but rates a major contender. |
5/2 |

3rd 9 |
26th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Beaten favourite on racecourse bow when runner-up to Marlacoo at Down Royal May 2024; failed to build on that next time but fared better when beaten 7.5l into fifth at Navan 410 days ago in a good bumper won by Copacabana; first-time hood on hurdles debut and horses from this yard typically improve for obstacles. |

The best of his three bumper starts was on debut last year behind a useful rival; not as good in two starts after an absence, but Punchestown last time was a slowly-run race; looks a player in this weak maiden hurdle. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |

Form of debut Navan sixth in February 2025 has worked out well; failed to build on that when a 7.75l fifth of 11 in a lesser race at Kilbeggan last month but may have needed that after a 460-day absence; better expected now. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 120y |

No Risk At All gelding who cost 100,000euros as 3yo; shaped nicely when beaten 8l into sixth in strong Navan bumper 460 days ago, the form of which has worked out well; leading player if ready to go after long lay-off. |

Fourth foal; dam placed in bumper, half-sister to several winners notably Johnnywho (useful bumper and 2m4f hurdle/chase) and Doing Fine (useful 2m5f-3m5f hurdle/chase); thrown into a hot race for his debut but Irish trainer's British runners are always worth a second look; watch the betting. |

0-9 over hurdles but has been in the frame in four of last five starts; runner-up at Navan last time upped to 2m6f, not staying as truly as the winner; up another 2lb for not winning but should be thereabouts once again. |

0-9 over hurdles but has been in the frame in three of his last four starts; beaten 8.5l when runner up over 2m4f (sft-hvy) here last month; should be in the mix again off 1lb higher but has room to improve in the jumping department. |

Decent chance based on his third placing at Fairyhouse over 2m4f in November and fourth over the same course and trip on New Year's Day; in between appeared not to stay 3m when unplaced favourite at Punchestown; |
