13th Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y |
10st 8lb |
Point winner; stuck to his task when winning over an extended 3m at Bellewstown in early July (good); not surprisingly, 2m proved inadequate at Navan last month |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 165y |
10st 8lb |
Displayed a willing attitude to get off the mark under Rules at Bellewstown when last seen in early July (24.5f, good); hit with a 5lb rise for that 0.75l win and not sure this big drop in trip will 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. |
