11st 11lb |
Won big pot over hurdles at last year's Galway festival and made winning start over fences at same track; not competitive in good company next few chase starts but creditable third in Wexford handicap in July and not done with when departing two out at Killarney; trip fine but would prefer better grouund. |

Triple hurdle winner is a maiden on Flat but some good runs in 2022; well beaten when last in this sphere in 2023; others make more appeal. |

5th Feb 2023 Yielding 2m 5f 44y |
10st 11lb |
Bumper and hurdles winner; yet to win over fences in four tries, best effort when a close second in a 3m novice chase at Cheltenham in November; probably best over further but very much unexposed on his handicap chase debut; could go close. |

11st 9lb |
Reeled off a four-timer (three chases and one handicap hurdle) early last year; began 2026 with an encouraging second over C&D but soon beaten at Cork last month (3m); more needed but goes well here. |

Reeled off a four-timer (three chases and one handicap hurdle) early last year; second in two of his three hurdle starts this season; began 2026 with an encouraging second at Tramore; raised 4lb for that but still 8lb lower than his chase mark; strong chance. |

Well out of the weights last time so that's forgiven but was tailed off the run before; there's no substance to her chance. |

Lightly-raced maiden was beaten a long way here last time and is 9lb out of the handicap so makes no appeal; cheekpieces. |

Nothing in beginners' chases and didn't get beyond the first on handicap debut at Limerick; tailed off in claiming hurdle when last seen in January; 2lb wrong. |

14th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Faded in the 2m5f Coral Cup last March; won small-field novice chases at Wexford (2m, yielding; 2m4f, good to yielding) later but has found 3m on testing ground beyond him in competitive handicaps since; the return to 2m4f should suit but he needs to put a subsequent early fall behind him. |
