18th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y |
10st 0lb |
Prolific winner whose last five wins have all been at Listowel, notably on successive days last month (yielding) under today's rider, over 1m1f and under mandatory 7lb penalty over 7f; aggregate 15lb rise takes him to a career-high but has to be respected being in such good form. |

Veteran has a fine record at this venue, three wins and three places from nine visits; won twice at last year's festival; recent form offers hope he is ready to strike again; however, he is best suited by testing conditions. |

Belated first win came over an extended 1m at Fairyhouse early last month, with Launch Time in third; fair third off his revised mark in a 1m contest at Killarney, with Draiocht in fourth; concerning that he has been unplaced in four 7f attempts. |
