Hasn't looked well handicapped since winning his maiden last September, but ran a fair race last time over 1m1f and returning to further should be beneficial. |

Went too high in the ratings after a wide-margin Gowran maiden win last autumn; however, he managed several good efforts in May/June and can make his presence felt in this grade |

Runner-up in a heavy ground Flat maiden for Donnacha O'Brien; third in a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle over 2m3f his best effort over hurdles but comes here on the back of a reasonable run in a Dundalk Flat handicap; any rain that falls should suit. |

Fit from hurdling, though he has shown a modest standard of form; ran in three Flat maidens for Donnacha O'Brien last season; by far his best run when 6l second to Amplitude (now rated 79) on heavy ground at Gowran; rated 69, may improve on first Flat attempt beyond 1m2f |

Maiden hasn't built on promising stable debut/seasonal return when a close fourth of 16 at this venue in June (1m5f, good); same mark here and yard in form but must rebound from a couple of below par efforts. |

Much-improved effort on debut for this stable at Navan (1m5f, good) 25 days ago when keeping on for a 1.25l fourth of 16; should go well again off 1lb higher if in the same mood. |

Encouragement in her 6.75l seventh of 19 on debut at Naas (1m, good to yielding); a little below that at Navan last time when sent off 9-2; improvement to win this is not beyond the realms of possibility. |

15th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 0y |

Hit the crossbar over an extended 1m2f at Naas (good to yielding) on handicap debut off 2lb higher; reasonable effort back in a maiden at Gowran next time when fourth; the heavy ground was perhaps not to his liking when last seen at Gowran when 23l behind; chance. |
6/1 |

8th 11 (7) |

Didn't show much in opening two maidens but getting the hang of things since, finishing fifth of 11 in a 1m Limerick maiden before hitting the crossbar over extended 1m2f at Naas on handicap debut; another reasonable maiden run over C&D last time; tongue-tie on now and he is appealing. |

Gained fourth hurdles success with victory in Galway Hurdle (2m, good) off 129 in July; satisfactory chase debut despite a couple of jumping errors when runner-up to Daddy Long Legs at Killarney (2m1f, good; 13l in front of Bowensonfire); arrives here battle-hardened and should go well. |

Ex-Irish maiden who was well backed on turf here last time, when coming away with two subsequent winners; a player on that, having since been picked up from Ross Burdon for 1,800gns, but he's never been quite this far and will need to settle better. |

4yo comes here on a hat-trick, following wins in 2m3f Kilbeggan maiden hurdle and on chase debut earlier this month when made plenty of use of for ready success in 2m6f Tramore beginners' (good), jumping soundly in the main; tougher task awaits here on handicap debut but respected. |
