Won his first two starts, a bumper at Fairyhouse last April and a Cork maiden hurdle on his seasonal return in November; 7.5l second in Fairyhouse Grade 3 later that month but soundly beaten in three runs since, including in handicaps last twice; more needed. |

Fairyhouse debut bumper winner (2m, soft to heavy) and followed up at Cork over hurdles (2m, yielding); good effort when a 7.5l runner-up behind Supreme candidate Talk The Talk in a Grade 3 in November; must rebound from poor showing at Punchestown last time when last of five despite being the 7-4 favourite; makes handicap debut. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Has a compelling profile, having gone close on debut at the 2025 Irish Grand National meeting (soft to heavy) before making a winning start for Willie Mullins back at Fairyhouse (heavy) in February; has to prove his effectiveness on less testing ground, but he looks a smart prospect and this owner/trainer combination were successful in this event 12 months ago. |

Excellent 0.5l second of 17 over C&D (sft-hvy) on debut for Stuart Crawford in a valuable bumper at last year's Grand National meeting and the winner is now rated 130 over hurdles; absence since is a concern but very much respected on first start for Willie Mullins. |

26th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Promising racecourse debut when fourth in valuable Fairyhouse bumper last season; underwhelming odds-on favourite at Thurles in December but ran far better when third at Down Royal when mistake two out proved costly; similar level of form when third again at Punchestown lto; drop in trip not sure to suit but a strong contender nonetheless. |

Shaped with promise on debut in Fairyhouse bumper last April but disappointing odds-on favourite on last month's return in Thurles maiden hurdle, fading tamely after being made plenty of use of; winner Zeus Power has won again since but lots of improvement needed to play a major role here. |

Shaped well on bumper debut when 50-1 at Fairyhouse in April last year, finishing seventh of 17; kept on for a 21l fifth here in January (yielding); upped to an extended 2m2f back here last time when beaten 27l into second by Jalon d'Oudairies; Umpire's Call was 5.5l behind him in third day that and won on handicap debut next time; solid but others perhaps more talented. |

All three wins in maiden/novice company (2m and 2m3f) but not far away in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft) in December and soft ground was a query when pulled up in that grade since; below market expectations in his sole handicap (2m) but capable of better back at 2m5f. |

From the family of Djakadam; there had been some alarms even before he fell midrace at Thurles (yielding) and was again a disappointing favourite back there in January, having taken a keen hold on the heavy ground; comes with risks but he's surely capable of better. |
