29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 8lb |
Grade 1-placed over hurdles and already a better chaser, making it 2-4 in this discipline when a well-backed 3l winner of a strong 2m4f novice handicap at Punchestown in May (2m4f, yielding); took an 8lb hit for that but the ceiling of his ability is not yet established and he should stay this far; Townend's pick of the Mullins runners. |

The fact Townend picks him from the stable's eight runners is a very big positive; maiden hurdle winner placed in Grade 1 novice company at Aintree last term (2m4f, good); beaten favourite in opening two chase runs before making the breakthrough at Cork (2m1f, yielding) last time, when defeating Wingmen by 0.75l; big player with further improvement plausible. |

11st 12lb |
Classy hurdler won a Clonmel 2m1f maiden before a close third in an Aintree Grade 1 novice over 2m4f last season; was an unlucky loser on second chase start at Gowran last time behind a stablemate; down in trip and a big player. |

11st 8lb |
One of two for trainer; yet to win over fences after five starts, but some positive efforts behind quality opposition, including when 0.75l behind Funiculi Funicula at Cork last time (2m1f, yielding) under this rider; place chance. |
16/1 |

2nd 7 |
5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 45y |
11st 12lb |
Has won a point, two bumpers and a maiden hurdle plus placed in two Grade 1 novice hurdles last year; solid in defeat in his first three chase runs but below that form in a classy Cheltenham handicap last time; looks the better of the Elliott pair and a big player even down in trip. |

11st 5lb |
Two wins over hurdles, maiden chaser; beaten 9l by Charlie Luciano in a C&D beginners' event on penultimate start; 7lb better off, could go close. |

3rd 4 |
8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 20y |
11st 12lb |
Well held behind William Tell and Nadia's Boy in a 2m beginners' here in June; no match for Charlie Luciano upped to 25.5f at Kilbeggan latest; this trip more suitable but he's 0-7 over fences now and needs to find more to get his head in front. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 12lb |
Two hurdle wins in France in his early days; unconvincing chase form since his return from a long absence; made mistakes and was pulled up at Punchestown in June; previously blundered badly two out at Cork. |
4/1 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 8lb |
One of three for trainer; dual French hurdles winner is yet to score for this yard but has run well in defeat at times, including when runner-up at Punchestown on chasing debut (2m3f, soft); returned from over a year off at Cork (2m1f, yielding) when 23l fourth behind better-fancied stablemate; makes handicap chase debut now. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 5lb |
Good-ground bumper and maiden hurdle winner for Willie Mullins; four chase runs for this yard have been okay; well held in a handicap last time, albeit that was a decent contest and the experience will stand to him back in a novice. |
15/2 |

5th 9 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
10st 13lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner for Willie Mullins; three beginners' chase runs for new yard back from a break haven't been much to shout about; may do better now in a handicap with an opening mark 7lb below his hurdles one. |
18/1 |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |

Bumper and maiden hurdle winner for Willie Mullins; moderate in two runs over fences for new stable since returning from over a year off; others more likely. |

A hint of ability in bumpers; well beaten in two hurdles; unseated on chasing debut; look elsewhere. |

A 10yo now; has looked very limited over hurdles and pulling up in two points doesn't bode well ahead of this chase debut; cheekpieces tried. |
