9st 13lb |
Hurdles winner is 3-7 on turf on the Flat; deadheated at the Galway festival (8.5f, yielding) before two lesser runs over hurdles; returned to the Flat at the Curragh three weeks ago to bag another win (1m2f, yielding); up 9lb now but should be in the mix again. |

Dual-purpose sort was poor over hurdles last time but had deadheated at Galway (1m) on last Flat start; is just 1lb higher today and goes well with an ease in the ground so looks a big player. |

Punchestown maiden winner last winter (soft) and more recently dead-heated in Galway Flat handicap last month, having not had a clear run; later in week again didn't have the best of luck in running when decent fourth in 2m1f handicap hurdle at same track (soft); on a workable mark although would prefer it softer. |

2-7 in points for current stable since this autumn, the latter win gained in four-runner conditions race at Mollington (3m, good to firm; first-time visor; odds-on favourite fell) this month; has more on his plate here but top amateur James King is booked again. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 165y |

Two runs in bumpers on yielding-soft were modest but a first-time hood (retained) and switch to hurdles after a 122-day break saw him win a Tipperary maiden last month (2m1f, gd-yld); that form has taken a couple of knocks and the forecast rain is not in his favour. |
