16th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Flat winner (1m4f, good) for Joseph O'Brien; placed in three of his four completed starts over hurdles; has a claim as the form horse on his second to subsequent Grade 2 winner Mr Percy at Limerick in October; fell early at Punchestown in November and absent since; strong chance. |

15th Nov 2024 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Flat winner for Joseph O'Brien, gradually progressive in four runs for his current trainer, most recently when runner-up to a useful sort in a Limerick maiden hurdle last month; may find the market leaders too hot to handle here but should get into the money. |

Three time Flat winner; last win came at Bellewstown two years ago (7f, heavy); has pulled up and unseated since trying hurdles; an unlikely candidate. |

Three-time Flat winner, including twice at Listowel; had a valid excuse at that venue last autumn when found to be clinically abnormal; saddle slipped early when 80-1 chance on hurdling debut at Kilbeggan ten days ago. |

29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Beaten three times under a penalty in novice hurdles after winning his maiden but rated 120 in that scene and he's bred for fences; every chance, for all that he would probably prefer a longer trip. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |

Bolted up in a 2m3f Kilbeggan maiden hurdle (gd-yld) in May; well below that level in two runs since in novice hurdles back there (2m3f) and at Listowel (2m4f) on latest; needs to rebound dropped in trip. |

Showed ability despite not threatening in 2m-3m maidens and was beaten about 12l on his handicap debut at Gowran (2m7f, heavy; first-time blinkers); might be happier under these conditions; much respected. |

Cost E60,000 at Derby Sale in 2023; staying-on third on debut over 2m at Tramore suggests he wants a stiffer test and he gets it here; definite chance. |

Left previous form behind when winning at Ballinrobe last month (22.5f, good); not sure this shorter trip will suit on the evidence of that run and unraced on slower than good. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 60y |

Improver since entering handicap ranks, plenty keen when rallying second at Killarney (yielding-to-soft) and handled good ground well here earlier this month, leading early on, not fluent last but finding plenty run-in to win comfortably; type to keep improving (7lb higher) and slightly longer trip to suit. |

11th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 169y |

Improved from low-key handicap debut at Clonmel when second at Killarney last month; that run can be upgraded since he put in a few untidy jumps; good chance if he can improve his jumping. |
