28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
10st 4lb |
Won his first two starts, a bumper at Fairyhouse last April and a Cork maiden hurdle on his seasonal return in November; 7.5l second in Fairyhouse Grade 3 later that month but soundly beaten in three runs since, including in handicaps last twice; more needed. |

Won a 2m maiden hurdle here and was second in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse since; however, he has to rebound from a poor handicap run last time. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 10y |

Fairyhouse debut bumper winner (2m, soft to heavy) and followed up at Cork over hurdles (2m, yielding); good effort when a 7.5l runner-up behind Supreme candidate Talk The Talk in a Grade 3 in November; must rebound from poor showing at Punchestown last time when last of five despite being the 7-4 favourite; makes handicap debut. |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 50y |
11st 0lb |
Okay runs in a couple of maidens and nice bit of improvement on recent handicap debut at Clonmel when good second of 13 (beaten 1l) on soft, only outstayed late; 3lb higher but entitled to be thereabouts. |
9/2 |

Fair fourth in C&D maiden on debut a year ago; out of his depth in Punchestown festival bumper following month; creditable third in Cork maiden in October; should be sharper after a run in a Gowran maiden last month; definite chance in first handicap. |

Ran three times in maidens; opening mark proved tempting for punters who made him favourite for a 2m amateur riders' contest over 2m around here (soft to heavy); made a costly error at two out and was only just denied after rallying; up 4lb but this trip may bring further improvement; big player. |

Some promise when fifth in Cork maiden on debut; regressed in three subsequent outings; however, could be lurking off a dangerous mark on handicap debut; Darragh O'Keeffe is an eyecatching booking. |

Couple of okay runs in maidens before tailed off over 2m4f on handicap debut at Cork; career-best when second of 15 in Limerick maiden in December (2m3f, soft to heavy); pulled up in Gowran handicap on latest; the jury is out. |
