Six-time winner, landed successive handicaps at Bellewstown (1m6f) and Down Royal (1m5f, good); 6lb rise and muddling pace found him out at Gowran Park last time; extra distance will help and he can bounce back. |

Four wins over jumps for previous yard; 0-7 (Flat/hurdles) for current stable but remains in form and has a fighting chance off current mark provided he takes well to the surface on belated AW debut. |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish gelding who's looked high enough in the weights since returned to hurdles for his current yard; well held off a 3lb higher mark at Sedgefield last time and needs to improve on that, albeit he's been found a weak-looking race. |

Useful dual-purpose 7yo hasn't been seen over hurdles since well held in Cheltenham novice handicap in November 2024; comes here in good order however, following close fourth of 10 in valuable Killarney flat handicap last month; potentially well treated. |

Four wins over hurdles, the most recent coming in this race last year off 2lb lower on yielding to soft, his second win over C&D; out of depth on the Flat last time, but this is more suitable and acts on good ground; player. |

Dual-purpose; 4-33 over hurdles; last won at Killarney off 4lb lower last July (20.5f, yld-sft); good ground is fine but lacks a run and overall record when fresh suggests he'll come on for this run. |

6yo who made it three wins for the season when scoring at Perth (3m, good) last month; respectable third there (3m, good) since; he was 6l behind Upfordebate last time but is 7lb better off today and this course winner could be thereabouts. |
