Hello Neighbour (G)
[H]
Progressive as a juvenile last season, finishing third in Grade 1 Champion 4-Y-O at Punchestown in May. Ridden with an eye to the future on C&D reappearance in December Hurdle and could have more to offer on first start in handicap company…

Bowensonfire (G)
[H]
Enjoyed a fine 2025, producing a career best when winning a competitive 17-runner C&D handicap (fourth won next time). Clearly thriving on racing and has earned a crack at this valuable pot.

Murcia (M)
[T]
Improved to win Boodles juvenile Grade 1 at Aintree (17f) prior to finishing fourth in Champion 4-y-o at Punchestown. Conceding weight/race fitness when highly creditable third on reappearance at Fairyhouse and merits respect with Paul Tow…

Pinot Gris (G)
[T]
Useful hurdler for Gavin Cromwell (eighth in County Hurdle at Cheltenham) and was left poorly placed in 2m Flat handicap on stable debut in October. Can be competitive returning to hurdles following a break.

Sony Bill (G)
[T]
Useful hurdler but underperformed when down-the-field in Fred Winter at Cheltenham (16.4f) and was just behind Hello Neighbour (not having much left) when falling at last in Champion 4-Y-O when last seen in May. Jockey bookings would sugge…

Lord Erskine (G)
[B]
Won this race in 2024 (well held last year) and proved as good as ever when runner-up in listed handicap on latest hurdle start. Remained a credit to connections on Flat since and can give his running on hurdles return.

Sean Flanagan | H Rogers | 13 | 70.3 kg |

| 14th | 7 | — |
Blue Lemons (G)
Useful Grade 2 winner as juvenile who was beaten by more than the trip/absence when well held over 2½m on reappearance here. Too soon to discount.

Bunting (G)
Improved on Flat when third of 19 in Cesarewitch and turned in one of his best hurdling efforts when fourth in a valuable listed handicap over 2½m here in December. Took a strong hold that day and could be interesting dropping back in trip…

Sea Of Sands (G)
[T]
Group 3 winner on Flat and has made up into a useful hurdler, placing in Royal Bond as juvenile and matched that form when jumping better than previously to win 2m conditions hurdle at Punchestown (16f, heavy) 52 days ago. Needs to prove h…

Ain't Got Wings (G)
[T]
Useful hurdler/chaser in France but made no impression on reappearance/stable debut at Punchestown (19.2f) on New Year's Day. Now sent handicapping and warrants a market check on second start for Martin Brassil yard.

Zillow (G)

Progressive when completing a cross-code hat-trick since September, improving again to land to beat Bowensonfire in listed handicap at Fairyhouse (likely winner fell at last). Easy to back/shaped like a non-stayer over 2½m here latest and …

Balko D'ange (G)
Landed second hurdle success on testing ground at Navan prior to finishing third behind Bowensonfire over C&D. Fell early on return to Navan latest but had looked as good as ever prior to that.

Sainte Lucie (M)
Hasn't kicked on from a promising stable debut victory as a juvenile and was well beaten behind Bowensonfire over C&D on reappearance. Something to prove.

I Started A Joke (G)
FAV
Useful bumper winner who underlined a positive start over hurdles when staying on well to land a 20-runner novice hurdle (8/11) at Punchestown (16.6f, heavy) 21 days ago. Booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye on handicap debut and he looks…

Putapoundinthejar (G)

Improved to justify support on handicap bow at Punchestown in May and may have been campaigned with a valuable pot in mind, step back in the right direction when sixth in the Greatwood at Cheltenham in November. Interesting to see if he's …

A Dream To Share (G)
2023 Champion Bumper winner (useful winner at 15f on the Flat) but yet to hit those heights over hurdles, for all he ran his best race when third in 19-runner handicap at Punchestown (19.2f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Would be in the mix i…

Kalix Delabarriere (G)

Kotkito Bello (G)
[P]
Highly progressive this season, typically made running/jumped fluently to land a hat-trick in 11-runner handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.1f, good to soft, 11/4) 43 days ago. Stiffer task as he bids for 4-timer but cannot be discounted in cur…

Tatateo (G)
[PT]
Consistent sort finished midfield in a muddling C&D handicap and improved when ridden-out to win a 7-runner novice hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft, 11/4) last month. Out of the weights on return to a handicap but could outrun his odds …

Kimi De Mai (M)
[HT]
Fairly useful winner in French bumpers but hasn't improved in maiden hurdles, finishing third at Punchestown (19.3f, heavy, 4/6) 20 days ago. Could do better in handicaps but faces no easy task from significantly out of the weights.
