Ballinrobe maiden win last summer sandwiched by two hurdle sucesses, all on good ground; form this spring below-best under both codes however and others hold stronger claims. |

Was a 28-1 shot on debut at Killarney but he belied those odds with a fine run in second, beaten just 2.25l; should be thereabouts again with a repeat of that; obvious chance. |

Renaissance Man gelding was unsold as a 3yo; second foal; dam unraced sister to useful 2m4f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Dursey Sound; not a lot of appeal on paper and probably best watched on debut. |

Just 1-8 over hurdles but returned to form with pretty good third at Fakenham (2m7f, good) last month and didn't run badly in competitive 2m4f race there a fortnight ago; can make his presence felt. |

Limerick maiden hurdle winner this time last year (2m1f, good); travelling smoothly and looked likely to be involved in the finish when sprawling and unseating at the second last at Limerick last time off this mark (2m4f, good to yielding); lightly raced and dangerous if repeating; good third in the Lartigue (2m, good to yielding) in other run at this track. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 50y |

Displayed ability in Ireland last spring and this very lightly raced 5yo is one to watch in the betting; however, he was tailed off at big odds last month in his first two handicaps. |

Showed ability for Gordon Elliott, finishing third on Cork debut (2m maiden, soft; 14-1); remote fourth on first start for this trainer at Uttoxeter last September; still early days but this represents a tough handicap debut off a 174-day absence. |

Well held in handicap hurdle outings; added a second win over timber in January when landing a Cork rated novice hurdle (2m1f, yielding to soft); followed up on AW to notch a second Flat win; cheekpieces go back on after he was tailed off in a Fairyhouse novice handicap hurdle last month (2m, yielding to soft). |

Dual-purpose type; had been a runner-up in two previous visits to this venue before going one better over C&D five days ago with a ready 3l success; that win came on the back of a Cork novice hurdle victory last month; shoulders a 7lb penalty now but could have more to offer. |

Decent effort on handicap and stable debut at Galway (22.5f, gd-yld) last September but didn't replicate it in two subsequent starts; goes without usual hood here and lacks a recent run; others preferred. |

25th Oct 2025 Yielding 3m 0f 0y |

One of three for yard; 0-6 and yet to trouble the judge; poor effort latest but he didn't run badly here over 22.5f (gd-yld) on his handicap debut on penultimate, making late gains and shaping like 3m might suit; may outrun odds if handles easier ground. |
