Has kept good company over hurdles since his last Flat run almost a year ago; that was in the Group 2 Curragh Cup; this is more realistic but he has plenty of weight. |

Beat some useful sorts when scoring in a rated hurdle here in November (20.4f, sft-hvy) but struggled in handicaps on next two starts and his third here on latest in February was a remote one; just 1lb lower now; others have more pressing claims. |

11st 7lb |
Winning hurdler; fair maiden on the Flat; useful form in small-field hurdle races in the first half of last season; should improve from a run in a handicap at the Punchestown festival; was one of the outsiders then, and made some late headway, plenty of horses behind him. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper winner on good to yielding; 0-5 over hurdles and rated 113; leading claims on the form of his maiden hurdle runs at Naas and Navan last year but bitterly disappointing in both starts in handicaps in 2026; huge chance if he can rediscover best but comes with risks attached. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |

Debut Bellewstown bumper winner in 2024 (2m1f, good to yielding); showed promise in a couple of maidens last season but returned from a 380-day absence for his first handicap at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding to soft) and was tailed off; may do better with that run under his belt; cheekpieces on. |

Won Bellewstown bumper (good to yielding) last April; there's been sufficient promise in his maidens to believe he might be competitive off this sort of mark, though he has been absent for over a year and looks the yard second string on jockey bookings. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Improved form since this hood went on, comfortably defying a penalty in novice hurdle at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in January before respectable efforts in 2m Listed/Grade 3 races; however, further improvement is needed back in a handicap and he has to prove his stamina. |

Both wins have been at Down Royal, notably in first-time hood when ready success in rated novice in January (soft); last of four however following month in steadily-run Punchestown Listed novice maiden in November (8l off runner-up Lazare De Star) on softer ground; good bit to find here and ground remains a concern. |

Won a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan in August (2m3f, gd-yld); respectable run on handicap debut at Galway (16.5f, good), doing best work at the finish; this trip more suitable but may not appreciate the forecast rain. |
