4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 7f 170y |
11st 11lb |
Point and debut bumper winner returned from a 619-day absence in December, coming good at third attempt with much improved effort in 2m6f Navan maiden in late February (heavy) under positive ride; every chance he'll stay this longer trip and should go well but Townend prefers Fillyoureye. |

26th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Nine-race maiden over hurdles, runner-up four times, including the last three times; latest when 9.5l behind Hens Tooth at Navan over 2m6f when trip may have stretched him; runner-up in handicap off 118 prior to that so he sets a decent standard back down in trip. |

28th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Maiden has been knocking on the door of late around this trip in handicap hurdles, most recently when taking the runner-up spot at Punchestown (2m5f, soft to heavy) despite hanging right throughout; has been the beaten favourite in his last three starts, but should be thereabouts back in maiden company. |

Beaten 7.5l on point-to-point debut; well beaten on rules' debut in a Punchestown bumper; tailed off in a Thurles maiden hurdle contest last time on stable debut; others bring more pressing claims. |

22nd Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Super easy point-to-point winner; bought for 120,000GBP after that; beaten 15l in third by Ksar Fatal on bumper debut at Gowran and 24l behind the ultimately disappointing Doctor Du Mesnil at Cork; needs to bounce back from poor maiden hurdle debut at Navan last time (2m6f, heavy). |

Wide margin UK point-to-point winner for John Dawson in December 2024; bought for 120,000GBP at Cheltenham sales later that month; beaten 15l on Gowran bumper/stable debut (2m2f, soft) in March behind Ksar Fatal; beaten 24l behind Doctor Du Mesnil next time at Cork in April (2m3f, yielding); the choice of Slevin from three options so entitled to respect. |

Recent Navan fifth was a step in the right direction; had plenty of horses behind but was beaten in excess of 40l; further improvement needed. |

Just minor promise in a 2m1f (yielding) Down Royal bumper on debut; failed to beat a rival home in an Ayr bumper next time; beaten 34l over 2m here last time; unlikely to trouble the principals. |
