11st 8lb |
Won Ballysteen point-to-point (yielding) for Pierce Power and fortunate winner when left in the lead at the last on hurdles debut at Down Royal (2m6f) in October; softer ground possibly against him when pulled up in Thurles rated novice in December and back from a break here. |

Mahler gelding cost 10,000euros as a foal and 42,000euros as a 3yo; second foal; dam unraced sister to bumper and 2m hurdle/2m4f chase winner My Gaffer, half-sister to bumper/2m-2m2f hurdle winner Supreme Present; Ballysteen point-to-point winner for Pierce Michael Power in April (yielding); yard in fine form so has to be greatly respected. |

11st 2lb |
Placed in 1-3 point-to-points; remote second in Down Royal maiden hurdle on rules debut (2m6f, good to yielding); okay runs in deep maiden hurdles at Fairyhouse, well behind a very smart type on latest; cheekpieces; Jack Kennedy rides on handicap debut; considered. |

Second runner for yard; placed in one of three starts in points-to-points; remote second on rules debut in Down Royal maiden hurdle (2m6f, good to yielding); beaten 25l upped to 3m here on latest; big drop in trip a concern. |

11st 12lb |
Plenty of experience, second in ordinary 2m Tramore maiden a year ago his best effort for Philip Rothwell; never sighted on yard debut in Downpatrick handicap in July, likely to find this tough back in better maiden company. |

On second start over hurdles caught late in Tramore maiden (yielding) in October; not as effective twice since, latest when fair fifth in 2m4f Cork handicap in March in first-time cheekpieces (now left off); has since left Philip Rothwell and debuts for new yard. |

11st 10lb |
Nicely progressive on heavy ground over the winter, winning Limerick Grade 2 novice and chased home 8l winner Doctor Steinberg over 2m6f at the DRF at Leopardstown; didn't really land a blow (pulled up) in 3m Albert Bartlett on latest and others now preferred. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Should stay okay having won a point over 3m and a Grade 2 at Limerick over just shy of that trip; he's relying on Doctor Steinberg fluffing his lines as he was hammered by him at Leopardstown (2m6f, heavy) on latest start, but has place claims nonetheless. |

Point winner won a Wexford bumper last year; looked like the winner when fallling at the last on hurdles debut over 2m6f here last October; was then narrowly beaten by subsequent Grade 1 winner I'll Sort That in a Navan Grade 3 over 2m; will be difficult to beat if repeating that form on return. |

Jukebox Jury gelding cost 45,000euros as a foal and 105,000euros as a 3yo; third foal; dam placed in bumper/hurdles/chases, half-sister to Cork Grand National winner Mattock Ranger; point-to-point winner showed good level of form in bumpers last season, runner-up here and at Fairyhouse before scoring at Wexford in March, still looking a work in progress; likely major player switched to hurdles. |

Had shown nothing prior to excellent third behind Gangster Granny over C&D on latest, and possibly might have won but hung badly left entering the straight (beaten 1.25l); front-runner has a place chance again from 2lb higher. |

Nothing positive to take from his four maiden runs and he was pulled up at Naas for his first handicap; hard to make a case for. |
