1st Mar 2023 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Smart chaser when trained by Jessica Harrington in Ireland and well suited by good ground; unseated rider at fifth fence on last month's stable/hunter chase debut and his current ability remains tricky to gauge but he still features prominently in calculations. |

30th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |

Proved above average over fences for Jessica Harrington, having bagged Grade 3 honours (over 2m) last term, and he ran well in Killarney handicap (2m4f) on most recent chase start; absent since a hurdles defeat in September and now makes debut for Alan King; major contender on ratings. |

Modest strike-rate of 3-39 over fences with last win coming over C&D in August 2024; jumped badly when pulled up on final two starts in 2025; possibly needed the run at Limerick ten days ago. |

Modest strike-rate of 3-35 over fences; is 9lb below his last win and was still going okay when unseating three out at Cork (16.5f, good) on penultimate; 2m5f may have stretched him on latest at Clonmel; good ground key. |

Has plenty of back-class and didn't run at all badly in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham; however, it was off level weights when just ahead of My Gaffer last time and will need to run better to win this, even with Finn Brickley taking off 7lb. |

Three-time Grade 2 winner in his pomp a few seasons ago; seemingly regressive and last of four in a Grade 2 latest; drop in class should help but may need to come down further in the weights; distant third behind Dunvegan in this last year from 10lb higher. |
