Won off 1lb higher at Tramore last year; chased home Chesterbaylad at Cork earlier this month but not in same form twice since; beaten 25l on latest and others make more appeal. |

Sole win came in this race last year off the same mark; not bad efforts at Cork and Kilbeggan lately so has to enter calculations back at this venue. |

Won a handicap hurdle at Tramore a year ago; right back to form when runner-up in a handicap hurdle at Cork on Monday; suited by a sharp, left-handed track and will go close if coming here in the same form. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |
10st 0lb |
Improved dramatically from a low base to record four wins in 2025 including 2m Tramore handicap chase in October; also good second in 2m Navan handicap chase, possibly found 3m4f stamina test too much at Punchestown latest; 4lb wrong here but could go well if she stays. |

Improved dramatically from a low base to record four wins in 2025 including 2m Tramore handicap chase in October; following month, handled heavy ground well in 2m4f Gowran handicap hurdle, clear along with the progressive Cousin Kate; second in a 2m chase at Navan in November; down the field over hurdles at the DRF; a big question mark about her stamina. |

11st 6lb |
Maiden winner in 2022; not his first time placed in a handicap when a close fourth at Tramore (2m) and suffered some interference last time; could go well, though good ground seems to suit him best. |

Hasn't added to his maiden hurdle win in 2022 but ran a cracker on second start this term when a running on fourth at Tramore (2m); this longer trip will suit better and he could run well. |

10st 2lb |
Won back-to-back handicap hurdles at Thurles (2m) and Cork (2m4f) late last year; 2026 form is less persuasive, though the form of his Sligo fourth was boosted significantly by the winner Timurshah in winning twice at the Galway festival. |

Back-to-back winner last November/December at Thurles (2m, good to yielding) and Cork (2m4f, soft to heavy); pulled up early at Tramore ten days ago in a race in which Avandra produced a much-improved performance to take second; may bounce back. |

Three-time flat winner showed a little bit more over timber at Tramore (16.5f, good) last time but was still beaten 7.5l into eighth; down 2lb but needs to improve again to be competitive here. |

Three-time Flat winner (twice in France, once in Britain) at up to 1m4f; has shown little over hurdles, but can be forgiven his recent run at Cork, failed to recover after being badly hampered four out; may do better. |

Largely consistent hurdler, latest win came at Limerick (16.5f, good) in handicap off 102, bolted up by 15l; couldn't land a blow off 12lb higher lto; plenty on plate on chase debut; cheekpieces tried. |

Series of placed efforts (including twice here) rewarded by 2m1f Limerick win early last month under enterprising ride, kept wide and making all in beating Dairy Force an eased 15l (good); 12lb hike makes this a lot tougher and unlikely to be given such leeway this time. |
