80/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (15.5f, good to soft) 104 days ago. Back up in trip. Not taken lightly.

Third of 6 in handicap chase (12/1) at Wexford (20f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles and worthy of note if the market speaks in his favour.

Latest win in hurdle at Thurles in March. 22/1, respectable third of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (24.4f, heavy) 20 days ago, fading from 2 out. Drop back in trip will hold no fears and each-way claims.

Placed 3 times over fences last summer but lost way to an extent thereafter, pulled up final 2 starts. Interesting what the market makes of him back over hurdles with yard also saddling Bring The Bacon.

Landed a Gowran maiden hurdle (20f) on debut in October but ultimately held back by inexperience in big-field Fairyhouse handicap (20f) subsequently, jumping none too fluently. Still, it remains early days.

Promising sort. Very good third of 24 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, soft, 12/1) 20 days ago. Should go well.

14/1
Shed maiden tag on yard debut at Tramore (20.5f) in August (well backed). Luckless when falling early back over fences in October and whilst he has a much-inflated mark to deal with back over hurdles/on return he may not have finished improving yet.

Winner in hurdle at Navan (15.7f) in September. Good third of 11 in handicap hurdle (17/2) at Limerick (16f, good to soft) 41 days ago, headed close home. Increase in trip may not suit.

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Naas (15.6f, soft) 84 days ago, pulled up soon after last. Return to this venue needs to have positive effect now.

Career best when doubling his tally over C&D in March. Seemingly not 100% when pulled up over 3m back here 3 weeks ago and bounce back not ruled out.

Latest win in hurdle at Limerick (2m) in December. Eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f, good to soft, 15/2) 30 days ago. Better showing anticipated given his latest run was his first for 4 months.

Off the mark at Gowran (20f) in October and remained in good form thereafter last year. Possibly in need of first run for 4 months over 2m here in April and expected to be closer to form here.

Forecasts

The Tack Room (13/8), Kells Priory (11/2), Paddys Planet (13/2), Tullyveery Lad (15/2), Rock On Seamie (9/1), Thedancingfarrier (14/1), Bring The Bacon (14/1), Ballyadam Destiny (16/1), Metersandmasks (20/1), Cahirdown Boy (20/1), Jakie Mac (25/1), Capture The Action (33/1), Robyndeglory (33/1), Willaston (40/1), Charlie Siringo (40/1), Sullane Hill (50/1), Na Caith Tobac (50/1), Toms Courage (50/1), Bentham (66/1), Balinaboola Steel (66/1)

Verdict

THE TACK ROOM is less exposed than most and ran his best race yet under today's pilot over this trip at Fairyhouse 3 weeks ago, staying on to take a share of third on the line. With further progress anticipated he gets the nod to confirm the promise of that run and come out on top. Kells Priory, Ballyadam Destiny and Tullyveery Lad head up the dangers.
