Long-standing maiden finally got it done when winning readily over hurdles last month; second in three of 13 chase starts, and some fair runs over fences without being placed in April/May; these types can kick on once they get their heads in front, and Donoghue prefers him to Sophia Rose. |

Maiden has finished second 14 times and third six times across all codes; reverted from chasing to be second in Clonmel maiden hurdle last week. |

Maiden under all codes in 33 races including 14 over hurdles but placed lots of times; some good chase runs lately (not last time) and should go well if back to best hurdles form. |

11st 12lb |
Positives to take from his bumper runs and again when third of 15 on hurdle debut at Clonmel (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie); has to enter the equation in a race of this nature. |
3/1 |

3rd 7 |
5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 113y |

Improved form in bumpers at Kilbeggan and here (2m) the last twice; tongue-tie goes on for hurdles debut and can be involved if his jumping holds up. |
6/1 |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 159y |
12st 0lb |
Stepped up on the form of soft-ground events at Naas and this venue when fourth at Kilbeggan; 50-1 then, likely to be one of the leading fancies now in what looks a weaker contest; better ground was probably the key to his improvement, and the form could be solid with Gavin Cromwell and Willie Mullins responsible for the placed horses |

Some decent efforts in defeat in maidens and handicaps in varying ground conditions; beaten favourite in a Clonmel maiden last time; steps up in trip today and a tongue-tie added; needs more but not ruled out. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 113y |
11st 4lb |
The best of five hurdle runs came when a 1l runner-up in a C&D handicap in April; not as good at Limerick since in more testing ground; can run well but has a bit to find with the best of these. |

Okay runs in a couple of maidens and nice bit of improvement on recent handicap debut at Clonmel when good second of 13 (beaten 1l) on soft, only outstayed late; 3lb higher but entitled to be thereabouts. |

9st 12lb |
No joy since winning over 1m2f here (good) in September 2024; didn't fire last season and no sign of a revival in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel in sole run this year; remains 3lb above last success. |
20/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 113y |
11st 12lb |
Useful bumper and Flat winner, his last win coming in a 1m2f Curragh premier handicap in 2024; some fine efforts in defeat in strong company last year but disappointing on final start; made mistakes when disappointing on second hurdle start in 2023; the one to beat if his jumping holds up. |

Last year's win in this race came off mark of 94; light campaign this term when tried over longer trips, not discredited in Group 3 at Leopardstown last time; return to this trip a positive but others preferred. |

Won on the AW for John McConnell in April last year; no show in three runs over hurdles but may do better now sent handicapping; check market. |

AW Flat winner in UK has been well beaten in two hurdle races, the latest at Tramore last week; best wait for handicaps. |

With Gavin Cromwell when tailed off in his previous hurdle race in 2024; plenty of competitive Flat form since then for John McConnell but not overly appealing on this return to jumping action. |

Was poor in a bumper last year at Ballinrobe but was running well in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel on return when a bit unlucky to fall; this is a step up in class but he could give a good account. |

Jet Away half-brother to 2m4f chase winner Speedalong; dam unraced half-sister to useful 1m/1m4f Flat winner and high-class 2m chaser Lake Kariba; yard does well here and market possibly good guide on debut. |
