2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 118y |
10st 0lb |
Has won two of his last three starts, a 19.5f handicap here (sft-hvy) off 107 in January and a 2m3f handicap at Naas (sft-hvy) on latest in March; career high mark now but he looks progressive and the forecast rain won't inconvenience him; 1lb wrong. |

10st 9lb |
Promise in bumpers and hurdles before getting off mark on handicap debut at Punchestown in January (2m4f, soft to heavy); raised 6lb for that and comfortably held in a tougher grade next time (2m3f, soft to heavy); tough enough task again. |

Some promise in bumpers and maiden hurdles before getting off the mark in a C&D handicap last time; bumped up 6lb for that and now in a stronger race so will have to progress again. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 110y |

Two wins in 2024 but no joy since; back to form with a 3.25l second at Naas (2m3f, sft-hvy) 29 days ago but remains 6lb above his last win and he's 2lb higher than when beaten 6.5l in this last year; would probably prefer softer ground too. |

Tow wins, notably the Lartigue at Listowel in 2024; only once near his best in eight starts since then, namely when second in 2m6f Fairyhouse handicap last April; badly out of form in three handicap hurdle outings between October and December. |

Runner-up in the 2024 Fred Winter; won the Lartigue (big 4yo handicap) at Listowel last year; ended a run of poor form with Fairyhouse second on his final start last season; had a spin in a charity race at the Curragh in late-August, so no fitness doubts. |

Punchestown maiden hurdle winner in 2024 has been consistent in his runs since without looking like winning; down 1lb since 7l fourth at Punchestown on New Year's Eve (2m3f, yielding); Billy Lee Swagger looks like the stable first string. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 110y |

Cork maiden hurdle winner in November 2024 (2m4f, good); struggled in first two runs this season at Leopardstown but signs of life when a 13l fourth at Naas (2m3f, sft-hvy) 29 days ago; the return to better ground here will suit and yard had a double at the Curragh on Good Friday; could go well. |

Sole win from 15 starts came at Punchestown in 2023 off 105; didn't run badly on seasonal return in a Listed handicap hurdle here (2m4f, heavy) but stopped quickly and pulled up at Navan next time (2m4f, soft to heavy); ran one of his best races last time when headed late on into second here (2m, heavy); return to this trip is no issue and place chance with a repeat. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 110y |
10st 12lb |
Rated 9lb higher over fences but has so far failed to exploit his lower hurdles mark this season; went very close to doing so at Leopardstown (20.5f, gd-yld) in December and Navan (2m4f, sft-hvy) in January but below that level at Naas on latest; could rebound. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 10y |

Dual-winning chaser has been attempting to take advantage of his lower hurdles mark this season; beaten just a nose by The Nagger Reidy at Leopardstown in December (2m5f, good to yielding); 1l behind Zanoosh last time at Navan (2m4f, soft to heavy) and that rival bolted up in Listed company next time; creeping up the weights for not winning all the same. |

Smart chaser went very close to taking advantage of lower hurdles mark when beaten a nose by The Nagger Reidy at Leopardstown last time (2m4f, good to yielding) in a 23-runner field; had been out of form prior to that run, but if he is back to his best a 4lb higher mark may not stop him. |

In top form this season; won a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle off 108 before following up in a Listed handicap chase there next time (3m6f, yielding to soft); looked in command when leader departed at final flight in Thyestes before being nabbed by Now Is The Hour (3m1f, heavy); holds a chase mark now of 136 so obvious chance off this hurdles rating. |

Runner-up in two handicap chases at around 3m in the spring of 2024; below that level over fences in three chase starts last season; exploited a 14lb lower hurdle mark to win over 3m at Fairyhouse on seasonal debut; made sustained headway from well off the pace to touch off Will Do in the Porterstown at the same venue; 9lb higher, still on a handy weight. |

Beaten a nose here (2m, soft) in September 2024 off 1lb lower and gave further encouragement that year, but that promise has not been fulfilled and his jumps career (latest start two months ago) has gone badly the wrong way; first-time blinkers replace his usual hood. |
