11st 4lb |
Assembling an impressive CV in bumpers, following all-the-way wins at Newbury (good to soft) and Ascot (soft) with an excellent third at the Cheltenham Festival (good) where he stuck to his task gamely after being headed over 1f out; that's the best form on offer and he's the one to beat. |

11st 7lb |
Not an instant success in Irish points but 2-2 in bumpers despite free-going tendencies evident in both; made all at Newbury (good to soft) and repeated the trick at Ascot (soft) where he was in splendid isolation for large parts of the race before predictably tiring late on; that form has taken a battering but he was much the best of that field; should similar tactics be employed, it may help that this race is often slowly run; highly regarded and much respected. |

Went close over C&D last season on his only start for Pat Doyle; battled well for a narrow success at Fairyhouse in January; emerged from the Champion Bumper with more credit than several shorter-priced stablemates; stayed on from an unpromising position to finish seventh, only a neck behind Quiryn, who was best of the Mullins squad. |

11st 7lb |
Debut defeat was for a different yard; his narrow success at Fairyhouse (yielding) wasn't pretty and the RPR nothing to boast about; probably lacks the star potential of some in here and Patrick Mullins (aboard last time) presumably agrees. |

Brother to Gordon Elliott-trained hurdle winner Wudya, half-brother to this stable's bumper/hurdle/chase winner You Oughta Know; interesting addition to the Mullins team after a single run last season for top producer Pat Doyle; lost out by only a neck to the Elliott-trained Santo Sospir, now the winner of three of his four hurdle starts after last Thursday's 9l Clonmel win. |

Point winner last season, won five-runner Fairyhouse bumper in January; finished well when narrowly failing to reel in stablemate Broadway Ted in a Grade 2 at Leopardstown; finished in mid-division at Cheltenham. |

11st 7lb |
With his dam closely related to a Welsh National winner, it was no surprise to see him finishing well when narrowly failing to reel in Broadway Ted in a Grade 2 at Leopardstown; useful but Gordon Elliott has made it clear that the same owner's Keep Him Company is the yard's principal hope. |

11st 10lb |
Hacked up in a Liscarroll point-to-point (3m, yielding) in March and bought for 250,000GBP at the Aintree sales in April; favourite, travelled well but didn't appear to get home in testing conditions on Navan debut (fourth to Charismatic Kid); appreciated better ground when making all in five-runner Fairyhouse contest early this month; ground concerns. |

Flattered to finish a length behind the trailblazing Bass Hunter at Ascot and he was then a disappointing favourite at Windsor (again on soft); no maiden has ever won this race. |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Some promise on Newton Abbot debut in October and he belied his 40-1 odds with strong-finishing second, clear of remainder, in Listed grade at Ascot (soft) last month; should be open to further improvement and likely to go well. |

11st 7lb |
Much too good for Boycetown at Punchestown (soft to heavy; first run in a tongue-tie that's been retained) and, although his bubble was burst to some extent at Leopardstown (heavy), he did get noticeably warm beforehand and probably wasn't seen to best effect held up off modest fractions; can do better, and probably a lot better. |

Cost 160,000euros as a 3yo; half-brother to a winning French hurdler; dam useful 2m/2m2f hurdler/chaser; two runs have been at Punchestown, chasing home an all-the-way winner at the festival in early May and handled testing conditions well when tongue-tied in late November, patiently produced against far rail to win going away from a subsequent Down Royal winner; smart prospect who should go well. |

Fairly useful form when winning his first two bumpers but well held in Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and Grade 2 bumper at Aintree last two runs; has since had a wind op and remains with potential now going hurdling. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |

Successful in his first two races (on good ground) but has come unstuck in a higher grade since, well beaten behind Bass Hunter at the Cheltenham Festival last month; difficult to recommend. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |

His wins at Worcester and here came on good ground, so perhaps the soft surface found him out when only sixth in a Listed race back here in November; however, on all his form, this looks three bridges too far. |

Huge price at Cheltenham, lost all chance when the saddle slipped early; ridden by Patrick Mullins on all three Irish starts; enterprisingly-ridden very wide to win at Limerick. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Patrick Mullins has been aboard for all his three runs but isn't here; impressed at Limerick last time (heavy) and his RPR was nothing to be sniffed at, despite Mullins keeping so wide that he ventured onto an AW strip that circled the track; sure to win more races but this is unlikely to be one of them. |

Promise on debut for Mags Mullins; didn't quite get home under positive ride when a 5l fifth of 15 on debut for this stable at Naas (2m, sft-hvy); was behind Burning Ability and Hey Now that day, work to do to turn that around. |
