Recent novice win was gained at 2m4f at Clonmel; however, worth bearing in mind that he also boasts useful form over this course and trip. |

Solid efforts in first three chase starts at Punchestown twice (16.5f, heavy) and last time when a close second at Fairyhouse (2m, soft); the third, fourth and fifth have won over hurdles and fences since; freshened up and big chance upped in trip (has placed form at 19.5f). |

Course bumper winner; 1-6 over hurdles and rated 120; rated 7lb lower over fences after three chase runs; 7.5l behind Littlefoot at Downpatrick on latest and 10lb better off now so should get closer; place chance. |

11st 12lb |
Won a Clonmel bumper in 2023, and took a 3m2f Sligo maiden hurdle last season; not a betting proposition after a fall and a refusal on his first two runs over fences. |

Won on her second chase start in a mares' beginners' at Naas (2m4f, soft); highly tried to no avail twice since, in a Grade 3 novice back at Naas and a listed mares' chase at Thurles; can't be discounted back in these calmer waters, especially if it rains. |

Last five races for Gordon Elliott were over fences; has suitable ground for stable debut (won twice on good last summer); cheekpieces now added to the tongue-tie used in chases. |

10st 9lb |
Dual hurdle winner is rated 128 in that sphere; hasn't been as good over fences in four starts but best effort came when fourth in a Clonmel novice last time; raced a bit awkwardly then; will need plenty more today. |

14th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Rated 130 over hurdles but yet to replicate that level over fences; beaten a cumulative distance of 97l in first three chases at Fairyhouse (2m5f, yielding), Galway (22.5f, yielding) and Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding); best form on good ground so needs the track to dry out. |

Won two of first three starts over fences, a beginners' at Downpatrick (19.5f, yld-sft) and a Kilbeggan handicap chase (20.5f, good) off 6lb lower; tame effort when pulled up over hurdles on latest and needs to rebound in first-time visor. |

Five wins over hurdles, the most recent at Kilbeggan in June; 0-15 record over fences is a negative; undependable lately. |

Five hurdle wins include 3m2f handicap here last summer and more recently 3m1f Kilbeggan handicap in June; 0-14 chasing however, runner-up in mares' beginners' last autumn but most recently pulled up after running no sort of race in 3m2f Kilbeggan handicap last month; belatedly tried in a tongue-tie. |

Has a good record over hurdles at this venue; has yet to score in 13 starts over fences; pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Galway last time; stablemate The Dara Man is more interesting. |
