Useful point-to-point form including three wins; narrowly beaten in 3m maiden hunter chase at Cork, but this is way tougher. |

Winner of three points; has failed to add to his tally this season; has been keeping good company but others have stronger claims. |

Sans Frontieres half-brother to five winners inc Clondaw Castle (bumper and smart 2m-3m hurdle/chase), Red Devil Boys (bumper/useful 2m3f hurdle), Queens Rock (2m/2m3f hurdle) and Kara Loca (2m1f chase/2m4f hurdle); dam bumper winner; completed hat-trick of point-to-point wins when scoring at Ballyvodock in February; handles heavy ground so rain no issue; likely contender. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 11lb |
Outstanding form in points this term, winning six from seven; no disgrace in neck Portrush defeat to Winged Leader, the most prolific Irish points winner ever (37 wins); raced a bit too keenly when only third (beaten favourite) on hunter chase debut at Cork; can repeat stable's 2025 win with the talented Fountain House, an easy winner under Rob James here on Tuesday. |

6th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 100y |
12st 0lb |
Outstanding form in points since October, winning six of his seven races, including a hard-earned victory over Dromleigh at Dromahane in December; his winning run came to an end at Portrush nine days ago; no disgrace in losing out by a neck to Winged Leader, the most prolific Irish points winner in history (37 wins). |

16th Dec 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 118y |
11st 12lb |
Best effort over hurdles on penultimate when a never-nearer fourth at Navan (2m4f, good to yielding); didn't appreciate the drop back in trip on latest; this test should suit better and he should run well. |

Has won his three starts in points since pulled up in a hunter chase at Clonmel in January; made the favourite Hearts And Spades work hard for his Dromahane win, and may again give his younger rival most to do. |
