21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |
11st 12lb |
Added a third hurdles win at Naas in February (2m, heavy); slipped up early at Wexford next time; seventh of ten completed finishers for his chase debut at Kilbeggan last time (2m7f, good to yielding); a bit to find on hurdles ratings against these. |

11st 4lb |
Won three times (2m2f, 2m4f) when trained in Ireland last summer; unplaced in three valuable handicap hurdles (2m4f-2m7f) for new trainer this spring; the drop back in trip for his chasing debut may not be in his favour. |

Bagged his second hurdles win at Kilbeggan last year off 93 (2m3f, yielding); made satisfactory return to action back at Kilbeggan in June when a distant third (2m4f, good) but never involved there the following month (2m3f, good to yielding); capable on his best day. |

Won back-to-back handicap hurdles at Thurles (2m) and Cork (2m4f) late last year; 2026 form is less persuasive, though the form of his Sligo fourth was boosted significantly by the winner Timurshah in winning twice at the Galway festival. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 8lb |
Adoption of front-running tactics had transformative effect when seeing him score back-to-back wide-margin wins at Clonmel and Fairyhouse on heavy ground at start of the year; pulled up at Clonmel in February but bounced back when third at Clonmel last month (2m, soft); better ground is a concern. |

Adoption of front-running tactics have had a transformative effect; 23l all the way win off 91 here (2m1f, heavy) followed by another dominant win at Fairyhouse (2m, heavy) off 12lb higher; handicapper possibly caught up when pulled up at Fairyhouse (2m4f) but drop in trip should help. |

Adoption of front-running tactics have had a transformative effect; 23l all the way win off 91 at Clonmel (2m1f, heavy) followed by another dominant win here over 2m (heavy) off 12lb higher; raised another 13lb and steps up in trip and grade; clearly in fine fettle but may not get an easy lead here. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |

Won over C&D in May off 87 (good to yielding); bounced back from a poor Killarney run back here over 2m last time when denied by a neck (2m, good); up 3lb more now but the claimer negates that and he likes it around here. |

Went up 10lb for winning a 2m3f handicap hurdle here in May; has to bounce back from an ordinary effort at Killarney last month over this shorter trip but the booking of Jack Kennedy an obvious plus. |

No reason to recommend on strength of modest efforts this year at Chepstow and Hexham (twice); however, the handicapper has cut him some slack, and he sits just 1lb higher than when winning readily at Carlisle (2m4f, soft) last November; best form is on soft/heavy. |

0-9 over hurdles; belied 66-1 odds when fourth of 20 at Down Royal (2m1f, yielding; first-time blinkers) on Boxing Day but that was a rather messy tactical race and she was pulled up last time; others look safer. |
