Showed a little promise last year; pulled up in a maiden hurdle on his final start last year and suffered the same fate in a handicap chase at Sligo on his recent return. |

Decent runs on two of three chase starts last year; pulled-up over hurdles when last seen in December and will have to be at best on return. |

0-5 over hurdles but ran surprisingly well in a Tipperary beginners' chase won by Pinkerton in April, beaten about 10l; must hold some sort of chance. |

Two hurdle wins; beaten a long way in two handicap chases during the summer; addition of blinkers seemed to do the trick when second to today's rival The Striker Dylan at Sligo; would have gone closer but for interference; should be in the mix again. |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 190y |
9st 3lb |
Mayo contender was a revelation for his new trainer last year; won three hurdles on decent ground here, latest over 3m1f; showed nothing in Flat maidens as a youngster, but he's a different model nowadays and could be very well in; has won off similar layoff. |

Speedily-bred but won back-to-back 2m4f handicap hurdles at this track early in the summer; found out by a higher mark since but ran well on chasing debut last time, both here; this trip is a question. |

Improved for the switch to chasing; survived a mistake four out on his way to winning at Sligo in October (2m5f, good to yielding); not as good next time when fifth from 5lb higher at Thurles; needed the run on return last year. |

Surprise debut maiden hurdle winner in 2024 but has been mostly disappointing since and needs a revival chasing with cheekpieces added. |

Won over fences last year at Kilbeggan off 1lb higher; however, has been well beaten over hurdles and fences lately so others preferred. |

3-34 over fences, with two of those successes coming at this track, including when 33-1 chance in this race in 2023; creditable third in a 2m7f handicap chase here on New Year's Day; flopped when well fancied for a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time. |

Is 3-34 over fences; veteran's recent form is solid, featuring a third placing over C&D last month and a third in a handicap chase at Tramore on New Year's Day; 0-30 record over hurdles is a significant negative; rider's claim is an asset. |

Sprang a 25-1 surprise in this race in 2023, his only success from 67 appearances on the track, placed eight times; moderate fifth here in 2024 and pulled up in last year's edition; should be better for a recent point run, but up against it at the age of 13. |
