27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
10st 10lb |
A 69-rated Flat maiden; struggled to make an impression in juvenile hurdles last winter and was a rank outsider in the Triumph; came good in a maiden at Down Royal early this month; won readily and left an impression that he can continue on the upgrade on summer ground. |
5/1 |

1st 15 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 88y |
10st 12lb |
A 69-rated Flat maiden; the best of four hurdle runs when beaten 15l in a Naas Listed juvenile event; beaten a long way in the Triumph Hurdle since; can go well but others look stronger. |
12/1 |
|
17th 2 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Placed only once from 12 starts on the Flat, showing fair form at best; big odds for his three races in the mud over hurdles, appearing to show his best form when fourth of five in Listed race at Naas last time, but that 15l defeat does not suggest any threat to today's principals. |

1st 9 |
20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 80y |
10st 10lb |
Flat maiden has run with credit in defeat in most of his 10 hurdle starts; third at Limerick last time and a repeat of that will see him go close; ground-versatile. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
31st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Flat maiden has run with credit several times over hurdles, including twice at this track and is ground-versatile; should be closely involved. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 4 |
12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 200y |
11st 0lb |
Failed to place in six Flat starts; 0-8 over hurdles, although some decent efforts; runner-up in a Gowran maiden hurdle in October (2m, yielding); creditable efforts following that before taking a distant second here over Christmas (2m, heavy); poor effort in a Punchestown handicap before 13l second in a maiden at Navan 12 days ago. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |
9st 8lb |
First reserve; midfield finishes in two maiden starts but not discounted at this level if getting a run; blinkers on. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 10y |
9st 8lb |
Reserve; No Nay Never brother to winners Hazel (7f; RPR 84) and Dawn Over Owning (1m6f; 73); never counted after slow start on recent debut in Curragh maiden over this trip; best watched for now. |

6th 16 |
12th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 166y |
10st 7lb |
Has placed form over 2m/2m1f on the level; favourite when runner-up in Limerick maiden hurdle in March; 2m5f was expected to suit last time, but it didn't; gets plenty of weight from her main rivals. |
6/1 |
|
5th 13 |
16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 100y |
10st 11lb |
Fair Flat maiden in Britain for James Horton; shaped okay on all three maiden hurdle runs over 2m, notably latest when (favourite) chasing home a ready winner here last month (soft); tries a longer trip here. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
31st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Second runner for yard; Flat maiden has run respectably in two maiden hurdles recently and looks capable of being a big player here. |
2/1 |
Verdict
This is a weak contest. The Willie Mullins-trained Beauvallon is likely to be popular in the betting. However, despite his expensive yearling price-tag, his French Flat form and Irish debut haven’t been awe-inspiring. It represents a chance for CROOKED PATH (nap) to make the breakthrough, having hit the frame in a couple of his previous hurdle outings. [Denis Harney]
