24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Irish challenger who has been contesting valuable handicaps back home, bagging one in new cheekpieces at Leopardstown during the festive period (2m4f, good to yielding); back at this trip (had tried 3m), it wasn't a bad run at Punchestown this month when a tongue-tie was added; hard to discount. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 118y |
10st 6lb |
Bumper winner; off the mark at the eighth attempt over hurdles in a maiden here in November (2m6f, sft-hvy); followed up in a Listed handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20.5f, gd-yld) in December; raised 7lb and pulled up in Listed handicap at the DRF on latest but 3m on heavy may have stretched him; could rebound dropped in trip; tongue tie added. |

2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 19y |
10st 8lb |
Took eight attempts to get off the mark over hurdles; won 2m6f Punchestown maiden in November and backed that up, again under today's rider, when taking 2m5f handicap here last month in first-time cheekpieces, making much of running (Saint Le Fort third, Wendrock fifth); 7lb rise for that makes this a lot tougher and steps up in trip. |

11st 12lb |
Point winner; runner up in maiden hurdles at Kilbeggan, Killarney and Sligo last summer; beaten almost 10l in third over C&D on handicap debut five weeks ago; should improve from the run, his first since last autumn. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y |
11st 8lb |
Point winner; runner up in maiden hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m, good), Killarney (20.5f, yld-sft) and Sligo (20.5f, good) last summer; poor when last seen at Listowel in September and probably best watched after break in first handicap unless money comes. |

21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 6f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Point-to-point winner; consistent over hurdles in recent months, runner-up on three consecutive occasions; touched off when odds-on at Sligo last time, form due to be put to the test by the winner Sophia Rose in the 3.28 contest; officially rated 12lb inferior to Champagne Kid; has the advantage of race fitness. |

Went close in a good-ground Worcester bumper last summer on his only start for Jamie Snowden; first two runs over hurdles showed mild promise; tailed off at Limerick next time; pulled up on handicap debut at Naas; worth a market check. |

Half-brother to five winners in France. dam little form, sister to useful dam of top-class staying chaser Royale Pagaille; went close to winning a bumper at Worcester for Jamie Snowden on debut; trip should suit for Irish/hurdling debut. |

11st 0lb |
Two attempts in visor comprise a Wexford bumper win (good) in July and clear second over hurdles at Listowel (2m6f, yielding to soft) last month; may have more to offer in the retained headgear; enters calculations. |

21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 6f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Second to today's rival Themanintheanorak in a good-ground bumper at this venue in June; went one better in good style at Wexford win; mid-field on hurdling debut at Galway; less depth in this race, could feature. |
7/1 |

8th 11 |
30th Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Well held in points but much more promise in two bumper starts, finishing runner-up in a Listowel bumper before going one better at Wexford last time, making all in first-time visor (discarded); should be more to come back up in trip and warrants respect on hurdle bow. |

11st 2lb |
6lb higher than for February's Fairyhouse win but hasn't been that far away at Cork in his last two races (2m4f/3m); does look handicapped about right but has each-way claims. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 15y |

Bumper winner landed a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in February (2m4f, heavy); raised 7lb and has struggled in two starts since, including when 6.5l behind Onlymammycanloveme here (2m4f) on latest; moves up in trip now; more needed off this mark. |

Bumper winner got the breakthrough over hurdles at Fairyhouse (2m4f, heavy) last month off 109; sent off favourite at Gowran 11 days later when well beaten, disputing lead entering the straight but bad mistake two out before folding; not discounted. |

5th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 2f 22y |

Rated a respectable 95 after six runs over hurdles; 0-3 in point-to-points; some merit in her fourth on Cork chase debut in January but this is a hotter contest; first run for new yard. |

Was runner-up in a Limerick bumper on second and final start for Willie Mullins almost three years ago; things haven't been straightforward since for her and she can only be watched with a hood and tongue-tie added for return. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
It was never in doubt when showing huge improvement in a Grade 3 at Cork (3m, soft to heavy) and when a disappointing favourite for a Grade 2 at Warwick there were apparent excuses; career best needed and by some way, but trainer's reputation speaks for itself; couldn't rule out. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
May have gained an advantage by sticking to the inside rail in Grade 3 novice at Cork (3m, soft to heavy) in December but she was firmly in control of that race from a long way out and is now 2-3 over hurdles; will be hard to beat if she's as good over this shorter trip. |

Limerick bumper winner off the mark at the first attempt over hurdles in a Listowel maiden in September (2m6f, yld-sft); from a good family (dam half-sister to Faugheen) so connections will be keen to pick up some black type and she should be up to the task. |
