1st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 2f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Comfortable Cork maiden hurdle winner (good) has been running consistently in handicaps; placed on her last four starts and did not seem inconvenienced by heavy ground when second to Cousin Kate at Limerick; fair chance of reversing form on these terms. |

Flat winner; won impressively on hurdles debut at Down Royal and then touched off in the Royal Bond by Koktail Brut; further behind that rival in DRF Grade 1 and beaten a neck by Le Labo in Grade 3 at Naas; still in the mix when falling at the last at Fairyhouse last time in first-time cheekpieces (discarded); can go close with a clear round. |

Three Flat turf wins, including a Leopardstown premier handicap on heavy; has taken well to hurdling, winning Down Royal maiden and just denied by Koktail Brut in Grade 2 Royal Bond over C&D; 2l behind Koktail Brut when fifth in DRF Grade 1; sloppy jumping proved costly when beaten a neck by Le Labo at Navan; first time with cheekpieces. |

Flat winner; dual victories over hurdles include a C&D win; just 0.5l behind subsequent Galway Hurdle winner Putapoundinthejar at Bellewstown last month (2m1f, good), winner now rated 14lb higher; not a bad effort on the Flat at Galway last time (1m4f, yielding to soft); interesting. |

Godolphin cast off left previous hurdling form behind when landing a Cork maiden in May (17.5f, good), earning a rating of 117; unseated on the Flat at Leopardstown on only start since; a bit to find on the figures but will like the ground and not dismissed. |

Sole success came over 2m1f at Limerick in May last year; looked like he might add to his tally when unseating two out at Killarney in May (20.5f, gd-yld) and 2lb lower now; 2m7f-3m perhaps too far the last twice, could rebound back in trip. |

Limerick maiden winner last year and finished good third in the Lartigue at Listowel; easily best run since and just beginning his challenge (going well) when unseating two out at Killarney in May, most recently would have gone closer but for pecking two out at same venue last month over 2m7f; remains of interest; also due to run here yeasterday (3.12). |

Improver since entering handicap ranks, plenty keen when rallying second at Killarney (yielding-to-soft) and handled good ground well here earlier this month, leading early on, not fluent last but finding plenty run-in to win comfortably; type to keep improving (7lb higher) and slightly longer trip to suit. |
