25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |
11st 2lb |
Breakthrough win over hurdles on latest at Punchestown (19.5f, yielding); hit hard with an 11lb hike for that 11l victory and consistency has never been a strong suit, so is no banker to back that up. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 29y |

Maiden hurdler but immediate breakthrough over fences in 2m4f Gowran beginners in November (heavy) under a positive ride; similar tactics employed in 2m6f Fairyhouse rated novice 9 days ago but didn't get home when third; return to this trip should suit but others possibly better handicapped. |

Sole success over hurdles a Fairyhouse maiden (2m, heavy) in February 2024; beaten a head off 3lb lower at the Galway Festival last August (2m1f, good); shaped like this trip might suit when remote third behind Jacovec Tavern at Punchestown (19.5f, yielding) in sole start since; could go well. |

Won over 1m6f on the Flat at the 2024 Galway festival; never landed a blow when 6-1 for the big amateur handicap at the same fixture last July; different proposition later that week, only just denied in a valuable 2m1f handicap hurdle; could be a big player if fit and ready. |

118-rated hurdler won 2m7f Thurles novice last season (yielding) and chased home a clear winner in 3m novice here last month on similar ground; left with plenty to do in first-time cheekpieces last week when staying on into a remote fourth over inadequate 2m4f at the Punchestown festival; needs to improve for switch to fences to feature in a major way. |

Blew apart a 15-runner Pertemps qualifier at Chepstow (2m7f) in February 2023 and underlined how effective he can be in big-field races when seeing off 24 rivals in a handicap at the Punchestown festival (2m3f, yielding) last spring; hasn't come close to reproducing that form in three outings this winter but his mark has eased a little as a result; worth a second look in the betting. |

Comfortably justified favouritism at Punchestown last October (2m7f, good to yielding) when returned to fences, adding to his summer hurdles win at Galway; a long way below his best on heavy at Cheltenham in November; better at Leopardstown at Christmas; trainer has saddled the winner of this in two of the last three seasons; Aine O'Connor won it in 2017. |
