Always Scoring (G)
€20,000 Mahler gelding was off mark in points at second attempt (Jan 10) but accomplished little on Rules debut at Fairyhouse.

| 2nd | 2 | — |
Begorra Man (G)
Made an encouraging start to his career when fifth of 23 in hot maiden at Leopardstown on St Stephen's Day in 2024. Fairly useful runner-up in pair of Punchestown bumpers since, the latest on return from 12 months off, and he's open to imp…

Blue Du Neuf (G)

Offered something to work with on bumper debut but well held in pair of maiden hurdles at this track.

Chopsticks (G)
Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 13.5f), successful once in 2025 but raced too freely on latest start in October. Likely to be a longer-term project over hurdles.

Shane Fitzsimons | J C McConnell | 6 | 75.3 kg |

| 10th | 6 | — |
Cloonbonniffe (G)
€24,000 3-y-o, Maxios gelding. Half-brother to 2¼m bumper winner Nancy Wyse. Dam (h97) maiden hurdler (stayed 2½m) out of winning hurdler up to 2½m Bright Note. Likely to be an outsider on debut.

Ryan Treacy | M M McNiff | 5 | 75.3 kg |

| 7th | 7 | — |
Cloudio (G)
Point winner was fair second on bumper debut but again didn't convince with his finishing effort (in first-time tongue strap) when fourth in 20-runner maiden at Naas. Handicaps look a more realistic option, now.

Phillip Enright | O McKiernan | 7 | 75.3 kg |

| 4th | 8 | — |
Famous Figure (G)
Fair bumper winner for Peter Fahy. Stepped forward from hurdle debut when second of 20 in novice at Naas, lasting longer on the bridle than odds-on winner but not seeing his race out as well. Could be more to come on just third start for t…

Fun Daddy (G)
€14,000 Jet Away gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Wyoming Baby. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser around 2m Moon Over Germany. Yard have had success with this family and he offered something to work with when fi…

Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 25f) Loose Preformer and fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Just Milly. Fourth of 5 finishers sole start in points (Nov 2025) and is bred to n…

Kilgame (G)
[T]
Yard among the winners in recent days, but he's proved consistent rather than progressive, finishing fourth of 16 in novice hurdle (5/1) at Naas in January.

Newbrook Diamond (G)
[B1]
Consistent sort wasted no time in getting back to form when runner-up over 2½m at Punchestown. Didn't help himself by hanging left that day, though fitting of more severe headgear should be a benefit.

Danny Gilligan | G Elliott | 6 | 75.3 kg |

Theabsolutegov'nor (G)
€18,000 Milan gelding has hinted at ability on bumper/hurdle debut, the latter at Naas in December. Probably a longer-term project.

Baby Fish (M)
€30,000 Sir Percy mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including smart hurdlers Lac Fontana (2m-2½m winner), stayed 3m, and All Yours (2m1f winner). Not given hard time when sixth of 10 in C&D novice on debut and probably a handicap project.

Munsif (G)

Useful winner on Flat for Roger Varian and has shaped well in defeat in juvenile hurdles for new connections this winter, third behind Fred Winter winner Saratoga at Naas last time. That form reads well and he receives handy 4-y-o allowanc…

No better than on debut when 66/1, sixth of 9 in C&D juvenile hurdle and looks one for handicaps.
