18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
9yo who is well related (half-brother to Kildisart and The Big Breakaway) but very lightly raced for his age; remote second of 17 at Navan (3m, heavy) in his first handicap chase, which he followed with much better form to win 13-runner Dublin National at Leopardstown (3m4f, yielding to soft) last time, scooting just over 6l clear on the run-in; has a much higher British mark today but also untapped potential and he's one to consider. |

Not much mileage on the clock for a 9yo; Limerick maiden hurdle winner in April (3m, good); stepped up to 3m for first time over fences for handicap chase debut at Navan last time when keeping on well for second behind 22l winner Rokathir (followed up next time); had So They Tell Me 0.5l behind and Gringo d'Aubrelle a further 8l back that day; player. |

Punchestown handicap hurdle winner off 106 in 2024 (3m, yielding); beaten 29l in the only one of three beginners' chases which he completed; nicely improved on handicap chase debut at Navan last time when keeping on well for third behind a runaway winner who followed up next time (3m, heavy); not ruled out but perhaps better suited to better ground. |

Superior hurdle form is reflected in this lower chase mark; 0-8 in this discipline but was third over 3m4f at Leopardstown before pulling up in a Listed handicap at Navan; no surprise to see him run well as drying ground won't faze him. |

0-7 over fences with an 18lb lower mark in this sphere; easily won a Listed hurdle here in December (3m2f, soft to heavy); fell back over fences at Punchestown next time before making a couple of jumping errors when a beaten 5-2 favourite over 3m here in February (heavy); stayed on for third at Leopardstown last time (3m5f, yielding to soft). |
