11st 12lb |
Unbeaten in first three starts, point-to-point last term and this season in Listowel bumper and 2m Cork maiden hurdle in November, making most; contested Leopardstown Grade 1 novices' both starts since, dropping away tamely before the last and then never sighted in first-time tongue-tie at the DRF on heavy; drops in class here and upped in trip. |

Point winner.; won 18-runner Listowel bumper on first start for Henry de Bromhead; recovered well from a slight mistake two out to land the odds in Cork maiden hurdle; lost unbeaten record at Christmas, hard to see him matching Talk To Talk based on that; tongue-tie on now. |

Won an incident-packed maiden point (only three of the 11 completed) at Loughanmore in April for the influential Sean Doyle; prominent all the way when winning an 18-runner bumper at Listowel on first start for Henry de Bromhead; the rematch with third-placed Grey Jude is probably the key to this race. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

Useful placed form in bumpers and improvement on each of four attempts hurdling, notably making all then idling in closing stages in 2m Cork maiden and in 2m3f Naas auction novice last month clear with winner when just outstayed late on in testing conditions; prominent racer drops in trip; big player. |

Half-brother to 3m hurdle winner Kinder Kid cost 10,000euros as a 3yo; useful placed form in bumpers and improvement on each of three attempts hurdling, most recently making all then idling and just holding on in closing stages in Cork maiden in late November (yielding-to-soft); should stay this longer trip although first attempt on soft. |

Progressive form over shorter, winning a maiden over an extended 2m at Kilbeggan (good to yielding); weakened over 2m4f next time and then ran poorly at 3m; strong form claims if he can prove himself over this far. |

Promise in his first two maiden hurdle runs but was poor at Fairyhouse last time; still one to consider on handicap debut and the market could clarify matters as one of three for his yard. |

11st 7lb |
Progressive type who showed promise in two runs over hurdles in Ireland and has shaped well on both starts for this stable, making the frame on both occasions; latest was at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in April; enters handicaps with plenty of potential. |

Third in big-field maiden at Leopardstown's Christmas festival (2m4f, good to yielding) and again ran well when second at Huntingdon (2m, good) for new stable last month; back up in trip here and has another big role to play. |

Maiden who looked ready to strike when third at Cork (2m1f, good) last month but disappointed as well-backed favourite over same C&D next time; bounced back to some extent when beaten 6.5l at Tramore nine days ago over similar trip (Pure Logic 1.25l ahead); should remain competitive. |

Sole win from 22 starts came at Listowel last summer (off 40); fair sixth at the same venue in May on seasonal debut; perhaps unlucky not to finish closer when 5l sixth of 13 at Killarney ten days ago, had to be wait to get a clear run. |
