11st 2lb |
2-4 on the Flat in Ireland; scrambled home on hurdling debut at Musselburgh (extended 1m7f) on New Year's Day; last of six in Listed race over that C&D (again good to soft) four weeks later, although he wasn't beaten far after racing too freely; tailed off in a Grade 2 one month ago but should be of major interest with his sights lowered today. |

2-4 on the Flat in Ireland; scrambled home on hurdling debut at Musselburgh on New Year's Day; finished last of six in Listed race over same C&D (again good to soft) four weeks later, although he wasn't beaten far after racing too freely; remains open to improvement if settling better and Harry Cobden takes over in the saddle today. |

2-4 on the Flat in Ireland (including a win on yielding ground) and he won by a nose over C&D (good to soft) on New Year's Day on his hurdle/stable debut; 7lb worse off today with the reopposing runner-up Scarlet Moon and improvement is necessary, but entirely possible with his top trainer possessing a good record in this race (won it in 2023 and 2024). |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Mostly running well in defeat this season; beaten 5l when second at Listowel (7f, heavy) a week ago; previously a 3.25l fifth behind Sujet in a rated race at Killarney and is worse off at weights here; would probably prefer softer ground. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 15y |
10st 0lb |
Sole win from nine starts came in a 7f Curragh maiden in March (soft); posted a solid effort at Galway on penultimate (8.5f, yld-sft) and 2lb lower now; ground may have been too quick at Killarney on latest; interesting. |

1-8, the win coming in a 7f soft-ground maiden at the Curragh; always well positioned when dividing Refreshment and Sujet in a 1m handicap at Galway; didn't quite see that out but todays drier surface may enable a stronger finish. |

9st 11lb |
Won at Punchestown last year (1m, gd-yld) off 7lb lower; fine effort on seasonal return off this mark when not beaten far at the Curragh (7f, soft); sharper for that and nicely drawn here; interesting. |
9/2 |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Gained breakthrough success in first-time blinkers at Punchestown (1m, good to yielding) in September off 70; good third off this mark at Cork when last seen in September; blinkers are getting the best from him and he's a player if ready on seasonal return. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

3yo won two on the AW last season; 0-9 on turf, though he did go close in a 6.5f Limerick rated race in July; no show in two handicaps since that run and was slowly away last time at the Curragh; others appeal more. |
22/1 |

3yo is a two-time AW winner at 1m; 0-8 on turf but has run well in defeat including a 0.5l second in a 6.5f rated race at Limerick (good) last month; soft ground not ideal at Galway latest; 4lb wrong but should be staying on at the finish. |

Admirably consistent in defeat this year and remains on a fair mark, especially with Jimmy Dalton taking away 7lb; fine at 7f or 1m, so has a solid chance. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |

Four consecutive places in June/July; in the frame again when fourth of 15 behind Sonoran at Navan early this month; not one of his better efforts at Punchestown last week; overall consistency still makes him an appealing candidate here. |

Five-time winner for Johnny Murtagh and clearly not the horse he once was, but showed that he is potentially at a winning level when a close third in a 1m handicap at Cork two weeks ago; this might be his trip now and he is certainly respected. |

Five wins for Johnny Murtagh; went close for this yard at the Curragh in April (7f, soft); below best in four starts since then; has tumbled in the ratings but will make limited appeal until showing signs of a revival. |
