11st 12lb |
Grade 1-placed over hurdles; won two of his first four starts over fences; hit with an 8lb rise for 3l win in a strong 2m4f novice handicap at Punchestown in May (yielding); Paul Townend picked him from an eight-runner stable squad in the Galway Plate; 9-2 favourite, dropped away tamely early on the run-in; dam was by a sprinter, stamina could be an issue; Townend stays loyal. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

10st 5lb |
Dual hurdle winner who is 0-9 as a chaser, though runner-up three times; has been rather hit and miss this year over various trips and he's 3lb wrong at the weights. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 180y |

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. |

11st 7lb |
Dual hurdle winner in France has endured some absences from action since joining this yard but built on his fine Galway chase second in July to go one better back there since; this demands more but he is in fine form so has to be respected. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 12lb |
Two time winner over hurdles and has racked up a bit of chasing experience, coming up against a couple of good ones; didn't quite get home over 2m6f here at the festival and the drop back in trip should suit; definite player. |
2/1 |

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. |

Won twice for Willie Mullins; form over fences for current trainer is a little more patchy, but cannot be ignored with the stable in decent form. |

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. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 55y |

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. |

Point-to-point winner is 0-7 under Rules and yet to trouble the judge; heavy defeats all three chase starts and rated just 99; hard to fancy. |

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. |
