Stable Tour
"He put in a good run in the Pertemps qualifier at Cheltenham last time. finishing fifth. He's a real chaser in the making, but he'll have a go in another handicap or novice hurdle in the next few weeks. 11-11-25"

Talented hurdler rated 132 in that sphere; placed in three of four starts over fences, including over C&D (yld-sft) in December when 16.5l third behind Argento Boy; another decent effort when a 9l second behind Butch Cassidy in a Killarney novice four weeks ago; has won here over timber; big chance.
Comment
Promise last three chase starts inc' here, good second at Killarney latest, big chance
Quotes
"Da Capo Glory had not run for five months and Daragh knows him very well having won a bumper and maiden hurdle on him. We couldn't look past him with his 7lb claim on that ground, which is worth its weight in gold. This horse was my first winner, he is still flying the flag and is a mighty horse. He isn't big, but is very well-bred and jumps hurdles very well - Paudie Butler, trainer"
2024-01-06 - Cork"Da Capo Glory is a lovely horse and he got a lovely ride here. He can hit flat spots in his races but he stays very well. We might aim him for the Grimes Hurdle at Tipperary next - Padraig Butler, trainer."
2023-06-10 - Punchestown"Da Capo Glory will be a lovely horse over two miles or two and a half miles going forward. We might run him in a novice in about a month. I'll discuss it with the syndicate and make a plan - Paudie Butler, trainer"

Chase debutant; rated 123 over timber; won maiden hurdle here in February (2m7f, sft-hvy); poor efforts in handicap hurdles the last twice; related to useful chase winners and not discounted for top yard.
Comment
Chase debutant, course winner over hurdles, bred for this game, can't discount
Stable Tour
"He took a big jump forward from his first to second start for us. He won a Kilbeggan bumper nicely in April, but I expect him to be even better over hurdles. He's matured and got bigger and stronger. He's a half-brother to Colreevy, so hopefully he has a bright future. He runs in the maiden hurdle on Navan on Monday. 17-11-25"

No joy since Leopardstown maiden hurdle win in December 2024; poor form in that sphere last season and not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding; others appeal more.
Comment
No win over hurdles since Dec' 2024, poor form last season, not bred for chasing
Stable Tour
"I thought he ran better than his finishing position [seventh of eight] suggests in the Grade 1 at Leopardstown. He probably made his move a bit early in the race and got tired. He's the sort of juvenile I could see running well in the Fred Winter. 19-2-25"

2-2 in French bumpers; 2-10 and rated 130 over hurdles; fine second in Grade 2 novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.5f, good) in October; tailed off in rated hurdle when last seen at Fairyhouse in November; that was too bad to be true and his dam won over fences so could improve for switch to chasing but stamina to prove for this trip.
Comment
2-10 and rated 130 over hurdles, dam a chase winner, stamina to prove at this trip
Stable Tour
"He's turned the corner. His last few starts have been much better and hopefully there'll be a nice race for him somewhere in the spring. 26-10-25"
Quotes
"We quickened up into the straight and Kainsbourg kept at it well, he was tough. It's always a privilege to put on these colours and I'm delighted to get a winner for Mr McManus - Jack Kennedy, jockey."
2025-09-27 - Listowel"At the top of the hill I thought I'd use Kainsbourg's experience. He was good at the last two, long and low. It might not have been the strongest on paper but he had the form to do it. The cheekpieces helped and hopefully he'll go on from this -Jordan Gainford, jockey, speaking to Racing TV."
