11st 12lb |
Has some useful form over hurdles and on the Flat, though has been tailed off in both disciplines since returning from a break of 72 days; if back on song, he would have a part to play in this company on chase debut. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 8lb |
1-7 over hurdles after scoring at Kilbeggan in September (2m, good to yielding) and running some decent races in defeat subsequently, including when just 2l behind winner on handicap hurdle debut at Leopardstown (2m, yielding); yet to win from 10 Flat starts and his tailed-off finish at the Curragh last time doesn't enthuse. |

Dual-purpose hurdles winner is 0-8 on turf on the level; well beaten in both previous handicap starts on the Flat and not easy to make a case for him. |

11st 7lb |
Some decent runs without winning in bumpers and maiden hurdles on mainly decent ground; headstrong sort didn't get home on handicap debut at Clonmel in October and given time off since; hood left off and probably best watched. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y |

Some decent runs without winning in bumpers and the same story in four maiden hurdles, with her two best efforts at Kilbeggan; has to be respected on handicap debut. |

Best of three maiden hurdle starts came here (2m3f, good to yielding) in July when doing well to finish fourth after losing a lot of ground at the start; not so fluent in her jumping when 23.75l behind the winner at Sligo last time (2m2f, good); hood goes on now and her penultimate runs makes her a contender. |
