28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
10st 0lb |
Good run when a 3.5l sixth at Leopardstown in December and narrowly denied on his next start at Down Royal (20.5f, yielding); pulled up on latest at Wexford, however, and needs to bounce back in first-time blinkers; 2lb wrong. |

Point winner; built on promise of a solid run at Leopardstown in December when narrowly denied at Down Royal (20.5f, yielding) last month and the sixth from that race has won since; should be bang there again off 3lb higher with Kennedy booked. |

Won 2m4f handicap hurdle here in August under today's regular rider and some decent placings afterwards; unseated on chase debut last year when in front three from home at Downpatrick but didn't feature subsequently on softer ground at Ballinrobe; unexposed on return to fences and better ground could suit. |

Went close to shedding the maiden tag when runner-up over 2m4f here and backed that up with another solid second over C&D 17 days ago; only 1lb higher and the booking of William Maggs catches the eye, so he looks a leading contender. |
