12st 3lb |
Gained a second chase success with a good display over 2m2f at Thurles in February (soft); well held twice since (blinkered last time) and second experience of the banks here, having never counted in this race last year. |

Dual hurdles winner got off the mark over fences for the first time at the eighth attempt at the Galway festival (2m2f, good); 4lb penalty for that could prove pivotal and his overall form doesn't suggest that a follow-up is guaranteed; trainer won this race last year though. |

Two wins over hurdles for Gavin Cromwell; 0-7 over fences and has a tendency to jump left at times; ground conditions will suit but soundly beaten over hurdles on latest and others make more appeal. |

Record of 5-13 in points; opened account on the track at the 18th attempt, improving on hunter chase form to land a 2m5f handicap at Fairyhouse off 104 in January (soft); maintained consistency with a promoted third at Thurles last time (2m2f, soft); others preferred. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 140y |

Course winner at 15.5f; seems best on heavy ground and scored twice in those conditions earlier this year, over hurdles at Clonmel (16.5f) and over fences at Gowran (19.5f); capable off this mark and rain would boost his claims. |

One of three for yard; sent off favourite and rewarded backers with a first win over fences at Wexford (19.5f, good) on latest, beating A Snow White Park by 2.5l; 6lb higher now and steps up in grade but should go well again. |

In the form of his life and seeking a hat-trick, following wins at Limerick and when beating Femme Magnifique decisively at Wexford last month (good); 2lb wrong here, but talented rider's claim offsets that; big player again, although may need to jump better now raised in class. |

Maiden is rated 106 after four chase runs, the best of which was a 22l seventh in strong Fairyhouse beginners' chase in December (2m, soft, RPR 116); poor twice since over fences and hurdles but big claims on that Fairyhouse run in this company. |

Won a bumper and three hurdle races when trained in Britain; not as good in two handicap chase starts in 2024; seemed to lose confidence when badly hampered at the fourth in a novice chase at Tramore five weeks ago on Irish debut; could be competitive off this mark; might prefer better ground. |

Maiden hurdle winner for Gavin Cromwell in May 2024 (good to yielding); showed nothing for new yard in four chase starts but kept on well to win a Clonmel claiming hurdle six days ago (2m1f, heavy) by 1.75l; entitled to win that day on the weightings and nice weight here as well given his rating of 113. |

Better hurdler than chaser for Des McDonogh but off the mark chasing at second attempt for current yard when taking 2m5f Kilbeggan handicap last month, appreciating drop in grade and would have won handier but for mistake at last; 5lb rise looks plenty fair and should go well. |

Yet to win (0-12 rules) and his form figures over fences (FP8) aren't convincing; that said; he would have at least made the frame but for a final-fence fall at Thurles (2m2f; soft) in February; badly out of sorts on last two starts, so will need the cheekpieces to revitalise. |

Took a big step forward when second of 18 over an extended 2m6f at Limerick early last month (good); proved that was no fluke when winning over C&D last time (Gerrys Wish 2.25l behind in second); up 6lb but she's of obvious interest. |
