Albert Bartlett Triple Crown Series At Punchestown Festival 2026 Qualifier Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:02 | Winning time: 5m 7.50s

Dameauscottlestown^t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 118| BF

8/1

Very progressive in handicap hurdles, winning at Punchestown prior to close second at Leopardstown, and she again shaped well when runner-up on chase debut earlier this month. Should be better to come from this lightly-raced 6-y-o.

Form: 559122

Dark Note¹⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Cian Quirke| T: A Slattery| OR: 116| D

40/1

Returns to hurdles 5 months on from a disappointing round of jumping at Wexford but he's capable fresh and still fairly useful on his day. Each-way claims.

Form: 7-12245

Themanintheanorak³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁵⁾| T: E M O'Sullivan| OR: 116| BF| D

15/2

Very much going the right way when winning over this trip at Fairyhouse and having still been in contention when making a bad mistake latest, he looks well worth a chance to resume progress.

Form: 652210

King Kali⁵³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Kevin Sexton| T: S Byrne| OR: 115

20/1

Found a bit more improvement to double his tally in competitive handicap at Limerick over Christmas and while easily forgiven latest effort, he has something to find at the weights in this company.

Form: 031-41P

Gorvitho^t³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: W P Mullins| OR: 114

50/1

Runner-up in France sole Flat outing and clearly hasn't been the easiest to train since promising hurdle debut third in November 2024, shaping as though amiss on handicap bow at Punchestown last month.

Form: 3-05P

Onlymammycanloveme¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Tiernan Power Roche⁽³⁾| T: S Neville| OR: 114

14/1

Ran just about as well as he has when chasing home a lightly-raced winner under similar conditions at Gowran earlier this month. Forecast strong pace in his favour and needs considering.

Form: F-093P2

Doctor Churchill^p⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Cian Cullinan⁽⁷⁾| T: E & P Harty| OR: 113| BF

11/1

Fairly useful at best but didn't get close to justifying support on stable debut/reappearance at Naas in January.

Form: 4/1730-0

Dollar Nolimit^t1¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Kieren Buckley| T: E Buckley| OR: 113

14/1

Off the mark under a patient ride at Limerick but connections quick to reach for first time tongue strap having disappointed at Naas subsequently.

Form: 43/4F16

Drop A Threat^h,t³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Danny Mullins| T: W P Mullins| OR: 111

4/1

Low mileage and improving, finishing fourth on qualifying run and settling better than previously when filling the same position on handicap debut at Punchestown last time. Big field/likely strong pace should suit and he could progress again.

Form: 1/7-8544

Khmer^h⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Daniel King| T: T Cooper| OR: 110

28/1

Fair bumper performer who hasn't kicked on from promising start over hurdles, disappointing at Limerick/Navan. Could be revitalised by switch to handicaps following a break, though handicapper hasn't taken any chances with his opening mark.

Form: 43-F358

Must Go Now^p1¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Josh Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: E Cawley| OR: 109| D

28/1

Cheekpieces now tried having failed to fire this season, faring no better for the switch to fences (backed at long odds) last time.

Form: 95-0098

Rony Has⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Philip Byrnes| T: C Byrnes| OR: 108

20/1

Went close on bumper debut for Jamie Snowden and wasn't far behind a now-useful sort when fourth on hurdle/stable debut. Looks to have gone the wrong way since then, though given connections it would be folly to write him off on just second handicap start.

Form: 2478P

Moylussa^p1⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Philip Donovan⁽³⁾| T: M Magnussen| OR: 107

12/1

Solid form when runner-up at Leopardstown final start last season and though he didn't kick on from his seasonal reappearance, this low-mileage sort is worth a go in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 1692-46

Leni's Law^h1¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Simon Torrens| T: Liz Doyle| OR: 106

25/1

Best effort when fourth in 2m Leopardstown on qualifying run earlier this month and while very lightly raced, he'll need to improve again to make a winning start in handicaps.

Form: 464

Onefortheditch¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: E F Gallagher| OR: 106| C

7/1

Consistent mare bumped into one on a roll at Leopardstown last time but that form has merit (fourth a winner since) and she's entitled to be in the mix again.

Form: 322162

Kimy⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Sean Cleary-Farrell⁽⁷⁾| T: T Mullins| OR: 102

18/1

Well beaten is listed mares handicap at Leopardstown last time (had finished runner-up the previous year) and her best recent form has come under less-testing conditions.

Form: U-8F300

Kobalt St Georges²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Phillip Enright| T: R Tyner| OR: 100

11/4

Thriving this season, exploiting lower hurdles mark at Punchestown in January following back-to-back chase wins at Clonmel. Still in good form when fourth in listed novice handicap chase last time and remains one to be interested, returning to calmer waters.

Form: 00-1114

Just For One⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: D G Murphy| OR: 98

50/1

Made more impact than previously when runner-up in Limerick novice in December, though that form has taken a few knocks, and he disappointed back in a handicap last time.

Form: 96602P

Kobalt St Georges (11/4), Drop A Threat (4/1), Onefortheditch (7/1), Themanintheanorak (15/2), Dameauscottlestown (8/1), Sky And Sand (10/1), Doctor Churchill (11/1), Moylussa (12/1), Onlymammycanloveme (14/1), Dollar Nolimit (14/1), Kimy (18/1), King Kali (20/1), Rony Has (20/1), Leni's Law (25/1), Disco Dancer (25/1), Lovely Reaction (25/1), Fairlander (25/1), Must Go Now (28/1), Khmer (28/1), Dark Note (40/1), Gorvitho (50/1), Cola Blaze (50/1), Just For One (50/1), Ossifer Hops (66/1)

Following an encouraging chase debut DAMEAUSCOTTLESTOWN can resume progress back over hurdles. Themanintheanorak and Kobalt St Georges head the dangers in a highly competitive handicap.
