25th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 125y |
11st 0lb |
Went 0-7 over hurdles but has soon raised his profile over fences, winning well at Fairyhouse (3m, soft) and third in a Grade 2 at Punchestown; outstayed over C&D latest when 6.5l off Flicker Of Hope, so has a bit to do despite being 3lb better off with that rival. |

4th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 82y |
11st 12lb |
0-7 over hurdles but in the first three on five occasions and rated 120; testing ground fine and stamina not in question but lacks a run and wears a tongue tie for the first time so probably best watched in first chase. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Lightly-raced for his age; bumper winner has run well at times in defeat over hurdles; poor in two chase starts in November but can do better back in this sphere with blinkers added. |

4th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 82y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper winner is 0-4 over hurdles and rated 114; tongue tie worn for placed efforts at Punchestown and Navan returns and also wears cheekpieces; from the family of Master Minded so should make a chaser but might need this first run since April. |

Some decent hurdle runs without winning; not bad efforts both chase starts but will have to find improvement for handicap debut. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |

Pick of hurdle form when fourth in 2m6f Navan maiden last March (heavy); from a staying jumping family; prominent for a long way when fourth on chase debut at Thurles in January; likely to need more experience. |

Point-to-point winner; 0-6 over hurdles and rated 103; pulled up and beaten 72l in Downpatrick maiden hunter chases the last twice; others make more appeal. |

12st 0lb |
Lightly raced 5yo showed some promise in a Navan maiden in the spring, most recently badly hampered early on when never counting on chasing debut here last month; not an obvious one entering handicaps but tried blinkered; rider had a winner at Roscommon on Monday. |

Beaten 20l when running his best race in maiden hurdles (2m6f, heavy); still early days and could be a better chaser given pedigree. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 4lb |
Killarney handicap winner in October (2m7f, yielding) and took advantage of lower hurdles mark at Punchestown in February before third in a similar event; well-backed favourite back chasing last month, disputing lead (clear of remainder) when unseating two out at Limerick (2m2f, heavy); remains very much of interest off 2lb higher mark. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 185y |

Killarney chase winner in October (2m7f, yielding); went close to following up at Punchestown (3m, heavy); pulled up in a 2m6f contest at this venue at Christmas; took advantage of a lower hurdles mark at Punchestown last month; third in a similar event at that venue last time; back over fences now, trip possibly a bit sharp for him. |

Chase winner was pulled-up in that sphere last time; runs off a much lower hurdles mark but is 1lb out of the handicap and will have to get back to his best form. |

Kept on in a 2m maiden hurdle here in November and in a novice handicap when third; upped to 2m3f last time at Punchestown when looking like the winner before the last before being run down into third; not totally disregarded but others preferred. |

21st Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 148y |
11st 10lb |
Fifth foal; closely related to French 10.5f/1m4f AW winner Sermandakfi, half-brother to winners Sermando (1m4f/1m7f Flat, RPR 76; 2m4f hurdle) and Relco Galaxy (Italian 1m 2yo); dam Italian 1m2f winner out of French Listed-placed 12.5f winner; obviously respected from these quarters and likely one of the market leaders. |
