4th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Started last season with a second placing behind Fleur In The Park in a maiden hurdle at Wexford; easy winner at Tipperary on his next start and showed decent form when raised in class; ended the campaign with a creditable fourth placing in the Martin Pipe; has the makings of a useful chaser. |

14th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Last two efforts (2m; latest under Mike O'Connor) suggest he'll relish this step back up in distance; solid form in two attempts over 2m4f, winning Tipperary maiden (soft) then good second in Leopardstown handicap (good to yielding); interesting, with a resumption of progress on the cards. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 211y |
11st 9lb |
Second in a point-to-point; won a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Tipperary by 9l on second racecourse start; creditable second in a 2m4f Leopardstown handicap after Christmas; 2m trip looked a bit sharp when he finished third at Navan, roughly 3l behind C'Est Ta Chance; similar concern here. |

11st 4lb |
Beat the talented Storm Heart in a valuable DRF handicap hurdle in 2024; maiden over fences; seventh when well fancied for a Cheltenham handicap; suffered interference off the home turn, might have finished closer; addition of tongue-tie may help. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Reached his peak over hurdles when winning a valuable race at Leopardstown (2m, soft) last February but finished last in the County Hurdle here next time; the type to make a chaser and, after a laboured effort on his handicap chase debut at Naas, he fared better in a Down Royal novice in January; needs to show his jumping can hold up under pressure but this trip should suit better than the 2m he's been running over and plenty of potential remains. |
9/2 |

20th Jan 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 115y |
12st 0lb |
Very useful (133-rated) hurdler whose two wins last season included very valuable Leopardstown handicap; more of a slow-burner over fences this term, Fairyhouse beginners' third his best run; let down by jumping against more experienced rivals in handicap on latest when never landing a blow at Naas; back in novice grade and Mark Walsh remains loyal. |

One of two for yard; distant third of 20 on yard debut at Tipperary (2m4f) and tailed off when odds-on for subsequent maiden hurdle at that venue; underwhelming next time at Clonmel before pulling up at Punchestown on handicap debut; plenty of questions to answer. |

11st 10lb |
The same combination of a sharp track, good ground and stayers' trip of his peak Irish effort similarly worked the oracle at Bangor last time; a 9lb re-raise demands another big step forward, though that's not impossible having won with far more in hand than the near-3l verdict may infer. |

2nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 55y |
10st 10lb |
Maiden hurdler with uneven form; definite player judged on runner-up finishes at Limerick and Punchestown this season; the form of the latter has worked out well as the third Live To Laugh has won twice since; ran below market expectations at Limerick three weeks ago but big player if he takes to fences. |
