Third over 2m4f at Punchestown on 14 October, beaten nearly ten lengths, he has a recent placing to build on in this handicap. He stays on 120 over the same trip, so a similar performance would put him in the argument again. That run came on good ground; on yielding, he was well beaten at Leopardstown in December 2025 and fell at Thurles in January. Sean Flanagan's 37 Cork winners bring considerable course experience, a useful asset as Feud tries to build on that latest placing.

His Cork hurdle win in April 2024 came over 3m½f on soft ground, giving him a positive piece of course form to draw on. He returns after 360 days off, however, having been pulled up over 3m at Clonmel in November 2025 on his latest appearance. The drop of half a mile to 2m4f presents a different test from both that Clonmel race and his Cork success. His rating of 115 is 6lb below his Clonmel mark, but his recent hurdle efforts leave him with something to prove.

Third at Gowran Park on 2 October, beaten five lengths over 2m4f, showed he remains competitive following his July hurdle win at Kilbeggan. He stays at the same trip here, although a mark of 115 asks more than the 105 from which he won at Kilbeggan. That latest placing nevertheless offers encouragement that he can cope with a higher rating than he carried for the July success. Yielding ground also holds some encouragement, given his second over this distance at Fairyhouse in November 2024.

A Cork hurdle winner over 2m4½f in October 2023, he returns on 114, 7lb below the rating he held for that success. His recent hurdle form is a major concern, though, most starkly when tenth at Killarney on 20 August, beaten eighty-four and a half lengths. The return to 2m4f takes him three furlongs up in trip from that run and closer to the distance of his Cork success. He was also well beaten at Navan in December 2025 and Thurles in January, so the drop in the weights needs to be accompanied by a revival.

His ninth over this trip at Gowran Park on 2 October, beaten over 23 lengths, leaves him with a fair amount to prove. He is now on 114, fully 25lb below the rating he held when winning a Class 2 hurdle over 2m4½f at Cheltenham in April 2023. That makes him look well treated on his old ability, with the distance of that success close to today's 2m4f. However, defeats by more than 20 lengths at Clonmel in June 2025 and Kilbeggan in August 2025 show that his struggles predate the October run.

Returns to hurdles after finishing second in a 2m6f chase at Listowel in September, beaten five and a half lengths on good ground. That followed an August chase win at Wexford and third in a Class 1 chase at Killarney, giving him encouraging recent form. His mark of 114 is 2lb below his latest hurdle win at Roscommon in June 2024, while his earlier Cork success came over today's trip in December 2023. He was, however, beaten 19 lengths on his latest hurdle appearance at Fairyhouse in November 2025, so must transfer that recent chase form.

His Roscommon hurdle win over 2m4½f on good ground in July gives him a positive piece of form close to today's distance. His mark of 113 is just 3lb above that winning rating, although his subsequent eleventh at Ballinrobe in September was less encouraging. More concerning is his refusal at Punchestown on 14 October over today's 2m4f, which leaves a clear question over his reliability. Harry Cobden has won twice from nine rides at Cork, so he brings some successful course experience to the saddle.

Third in a Class 3 hurdle at Newbury in November 2025 showed some promise over 2m4½f, albeit beaten fourteen and a quarter lengths. His subsequent hurdle efforts have been less encouraging, including eighth at Listowel on 25 September, beaten twenty-three and a quarter lengths. The return to 2m4f brings him two furlongs up in trip and closer to the distance of that Newbury placing, although improvement is needed. Patrick M O'Brien and E McNamara have shared a winner in the past fortnight, providing some encouragement from the partnership.

Fourth at Galway on 6 October, beaten nine and a half lengths over 2m6½f, was a better effort than her September defeat at Kilbeggan. She drops two and a half furlongs to 2m4f, a distance at which she went close when second at Thurles in October 2025. Her mark of 107 is now 2lb below the rating from which she won over hurdles at Naas in November 2025, offering some encouragement. A Downpatrick success on yielding ground in September 2025 also suggests today's going should be suitable.

Won over 2m6f at Downpatrick in March and is now just 1lb above the mark for that hurdle success, which gives him a chance on that form. His latest effort was much less encouraging, finishing ninth over 3m at Gowran Park on 3 October, beaten forty-one and a quarter lengths. He drops half a mile to 2m4f, but his January fifth at Fairyhouse over this trip was also well beaten. His seven-length fourth at Clonmel in April does offer some encouragement for today's yielding ground.

His second at Gowran Park in March, beaten five and a half lengths over 2m on heavy ground, gives him some useful hurdle form to build on. He subsequently fell at Bellewstown in April and Cork in May, so his jumping is an immediate concern following those two unsuccessful outings. He returns after 175 days off over 2m4f, one furlong further than at Cork in May, adding a change of trip to the equation. Gavin Cromwell's five winners from 36 runners in the past fortnight provide encouragement about the yard's recent form.

Followed his Wexford hurdle win in August with a close second at Listowel on 25 September, beaten half a length over 2m2f. The return to 2m4f takes him two furlongs further than at Listowel and back to the distance of that August success. His mark of 101 is 13lb above the 88 he won from at Wexford, so this asks more despite the encouraging recent form. Today's yielding ground also differs from the good going for his win and good to yielding at Listowel.

Seventh at Wexford on 3 July, beaten five lengths on good ground, he was closer than the placing suggests and now returns after 121 days off. That was a better result than his May appearance at Cork, where he was pulled up over 2m3f on good ground. His mark of 98 remains 7lb above the rating he held for his two-mile hurdle win at Listowel in September 2024. Today's 2m4f puts more emphasis on stamina than the two miles of that success, and he needs to sustain his effort over the longer distance.

Beaten 13 lengths when ninth over 2m3f at Limerick on 17 October, he got closer to the winner than in his September outings. Those defeats at Kilbeggan and Listowel were both by more than 40 lengths, so the latest effort was at least a move in the right direction. He steps up another furlong to 2m4f here, with more required to turn that closer finish into a serious challenge. Donncha Duggan's Cork results offer little extra encouragement, with no winners from 29 runners at the course.

A narrow second over 2m at Punchestown in January shows he can be competitive from today's mark of 94, albeit on soft to heavy. His subsequent form is less reassuring: he was pulled up over hurdles at Roscommon in July and unseated over fences at Kilbeggan in September. Today's 2m4f gives him a different test from the 2m of that close second, with yielding ground replacing soft to heavy. Phillip Enright brings extensive course experience, including 54 Cork winners, which is a positive for his return to hurdles.

Second over 2m4f at Gowran Park in February, beaten ten lengths on heavy ground, he returns to hurdles on 106, 2lb below his rating that day. Today's yielding going differs from those conditions, and he finished well behind on it when fourteenth at Punchestown in April. His latest start brought another heavy defeat, finishing seventh in a Ballinrobe chase on 25 May, more than 35 lengths behind the winner. He returns from 160 days off with enough ability in that February placing to be of interest, but his subsequent defeats make a revival necessary.
