25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Knows what these big-field handicaps are all about and it was a cracking run to be fourth in the Irish National in April last time considering he carried an 8lb penalty for winning the Ulster National; that Fairyhouse defeat was his first for this yard; entitled to run well. |

21st Apr 2025 Soft To Heavy 3m 5f 37y |

Beaten a short head in 2023 Thyestes; started last season brightly with Troytown fourth but pulled up in three big handicaps afterwards; surprise winner on debut for new yard in 2m4f Navan handicap hurdle early last month; maintained his revival with victory over Final Order in the 3m5f Ulster National; 8lb penalty makes this difficult. |

11st 5lb |
Has hit the frame in both handicap hurdle outings in 2025, the latest when runner-up at Cork beaten 2l in April; mixed signals on the strength of that form but fit after respectable Flat outing last month and feasibly treated on old form. |

Off the mark over fences in a C&D beginners' in May; unseated two out in a handicap chase back here next time when still in contention; never involved at the Galway festival when tailed off (2m2f, good); capable of better back here. |

Sole win came in heavy ground handicap hurdle last year; consistent in seven chase starts; arguably career best when beaten 11l into third by Vicar Street at Galway eight days ago; drop back in trip fine and he's going the right way; good claims. |

Four-time point-to-point winner gained first chase win under rules' on latest at Limerick (24.5f, sft-hvy); raised 6lb for that and this is a deeper race; will need a big career-best to follow up. |

Four-time point-to-point winner whose success under rules came in 2m7f Punchestown novice handicap hurdle last season (soft); 0-5 chasing, well held last twice in Naas handicaps, albeit near-impossible task last time from 10lb out of handicap in Leinster National; drops in class so don't rule out. |

Lightly raced since back-to-back wins over hurdles in 2023; on second start for this yard, bolted up over this trip at Ballinrobe where cheekpieces went on for the first time and usual tongue-tie was discarded; 13lb rise still leaves him eligible for basement grade. |
