Form & Verdict

Not a bad effort in a maiden hurdle at Listowel on debut last month when a 40-1 shot; bumper winners in pedigree so could go well on first start in this sphere.

Form & Verdict

Sent off at 2-1 on debut over C&D and found just one too good (Jet Renegade third); ran green and hung off the home bend and up the straight that day; should be more streetwise now and he's a leading contender.

1st 12	10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1	16:40 Aintree Zeus Power 11st 8lb J: J J Slevin T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien	After minor wins in Ireland he went off 50-1 for the 2m5f Grade 1 Turners at Cheltenham but he defied those odds to finish third, in spite of so much going wrong during the race (got behind after suffering interference); the manner in which he stayed on offers plenty of encouragement for this extra yardage; it's a nagging concern that only four 5yos have won this since 1988 but intriguing otherwise.	9/2
