Seven-time winner over hurdles/fences; won twice at this venue last July; likely to show the benefit of a recent hurdles run at Limerick; noteworthy on account of his ability to handle the track; good chance with a top claimer aboard. |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 100y |
10st 9lb |
Seven-time winner over hurdles/fences and hasn't been out of the first three in his last six starts around here; three wins over fences last year; disappointing favourite over hurdles at Cork but returns from a break racing from 14lb lower hurdles mark; should go well. |
3/1 |

Winner of seven races including three this year; those three wins have come in handicap chases, including a 3l victory at Limerick (2m3f, yld-sft) on latest off 109; rated 103 in this sphere and 2m is fine so can't be discounted on return to hurdling. |

Gained his third chase win in a Fairyhouse handicap (24.5f, yielding) three weeks ago; raised 5lb for that 1.5l victory so he'll need a career best to follow up off his new mark. |

In good form in the autumn, winning Clonmel handicap chase (good) over this trip and following up in 2m Tipperary handicap hurdle; hat-trick foiled off 9lb higher mark in 2m Naas handicap chase when jumped right; bit to prove now but return to this trip and ground should suit. |

Sole chase win came at this track in September off 93 (2m, good); recent chase runs do not provide huge encouragement and both her wins have come at shorter than this; in saying that, the handicapper is giving her a chance. |

Won 2m5f Thurles mares' beginners' chase in 2022 for Henry de Bromhead; only six runs since then, including fourth behind Kiltealy Park in this race last year, absent since pulled up behind several of these here in November; hard to fancy on return, especially given she's 6lb wrong here. |
