11st 0lb |
Course bumper winner (16.5f, soft) got off the mark in this sphere in a 2m4f Fairyhouse maiden in April (form hasn't worked out); unseated on chase debut on latest at Tipperary in May; this looks a tough task on handicap debut. |

Bolted up on sole point-to-point start; bumper winner; consistent hurdler who got off the mark in Fairyhouse maiden (2m4f, yielding) last month; could develop into a fine chaser. |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 90y |

Bumper winner in January 2025; rated 109 over hurdles and race-fit but probably best watched on Flat debut. |

Fairyhouse bumper winner; best hurdles run came at that venue last April when a 7l second (2m4f, yielding); well below that level in two runs this term and beaten 26l in C&D novice on latest; others make more appeal. |

Was still involved when falling in this race last year on the back of a lengthy absence; 0-9 but he's consistent sort and wasn't beaten far in a maiden hurdle at Navan before a 14l defeat when third of 16 at Fairyhouse earlier this month; not much went right for him the last day and one to consider back in handicap company. |

Every chance when falling on handicap debut at Punchestown last May after a long layoff; solid maiden form this season, fifth behind Cheltenham winner Air Of Entitlement at Down Royal, third in a decent four-runner contest at Navan; closely matched with Butcher Hollow on running at the same venue last time; cheekpieces now as well as usual tongue-tie. |

Maiden's best run came when placed in good-ground Wexford maiden last summer; testing ground wouldn't have suited on last month's comeback run and may need more drying to be considered. |

Won a point-to-point by 10l on his third attempt; has been disappointing since running under rules and was most recently beaten by 44l when sent off at 200-1 in a beginners' chase (3m, gd-yld); returns to hurdles here and could possibly play a role. |

Beaten a long way in five maiden hurdle starts but his run at Wexford on handicap debut was a bit better when a 15.5l fifth of 11 (16.5f, good to yielding), had Surviving Murmansk behind and Splendid Choice close in front; needs a big step forward; declared for Sligo on Thursday. |
