Veteran has been competing quite effectively in points; however, could manage only a moderate fourth in an incident-packed Fairyhouse race won by Five Star Getaway. |

Veteran is 3-19 over fences; won off 121 at Down Royal (3m, gd-yld) in January; pulled up next two starts then beaten 16.5l off this mark on latest at Punchestown; likes going right-handed but others hold more pressing claims. |

0-7 over hurdles but has one win from 14 starts chasing and he has been concentrating his efforts in that department since 2023; best of his efforts this year was a 0.5l second at Down Royal in January (3m, good to yielding); runs since have been underwhelming. |

10st 1lb |
Sole win from 19 attempts came over hurdles at Punchestown in January last year (2m4f, soft); 0-9 chasing and largely struggled in chase starts last season; pulled up when last seen at Navan in March; may need this. |

Not a great strike rate but on song on latest when readily landing 3m1f Fairyhouse handicap last month in first-time blinkers; raised 12lb for that but still 12lb out of handicap here so plenty on his plate. |

Promise here on seasonal reappearance; failed to build on that on next four starts but signs of a revival when staying on for a 9.5l fourth back here (3m, heavy) on latest; blinkers could eke out more but he's 7lb wrong and looks up against it. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was in a maiden hurdle in Ireland two years ago but he's well handicapped on old Flat form and made an encouraging return for new yard when seventh of 20 in the Northumberland Plate (2m, AW); conditions should be fine on this drop back in trip and he's one to keep an eye on. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Well held in 2022 in his sole AW race; has been running over hurdles and fences in Ireland, with no win since a maiden hurdle nearly two years ago; sold out of Gordon Elliott's for 9,000gns this February; there's no tongue-tie today for the first time in three years and last jumps season's blinkers/cheekpieces are also absent; peak Flat form and new trainer's record with recruits are something to clutch at, though. |

Sole win from 21 runs came in a Listed novice handicap chase at Navan last March (2m5f, heavy) off this mark; badly out of form since and now makes stable debut with first-time cheekpieces replacing the blinkers worn the last day. |

First reserve; sole win over fences came at Limerick (2m6f, yielding) in December 2024; ran well over hurdles off 2lb higher mark at Limerick on penultimate start; well held at Punchestown 124 days ago but badly hampered; chance after 124 days off. |

Won a novices' handicap chase at Limerick (22.5f, yld-sft) in December; raised 11lb and hasn't really threatened in four starts since; still only a 7yo and may have needed his last run so not dismissed, especially if money comes. |
