11st 6lb |
Career peak came in 2023 when winning a novice hurdle at Cheltenham October meeting on first run for Gavin Cromwell; well beaten when runner-up over fences in April and June last year; returned to John McConnell, with whom he started his career, last time at Musselburgh back over hurdles but was disappointing; hard to fancy on current form. |

Three-time winning hurdler has clearly had his issues; unseen since tailed off in a Tipperary Grade 3 in October 2024; has the rating to be a big danger but questionable whether he can run to it after such a long time away. |

Dual bumper winner and winning chaser is 2-12 over hurdles and rated 135; bounced back to form when runner-up in a similar race at Ballinrobe last time (2m3f, good), with Farren Glory a neck behind in third; gave Farren Glory 5lb that day and they now race off levels, while claimer also takes off 7lb; big contender. |

Dual bumper winner and winning chaser is 2-11 over hurdles and rated 132; has lost his way since fine second in the Plate at Cheltenham in 2025; pulled up in Leopardstown chase when last seen in February; revival needed. |

1st Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 107y |
11st 0lb |
Record of 1-13 over fences but has been placed plenty, notably when second to Jagwar in the Plate at Cheltenham last term; hasn't been as good since and was well beaten over hurdles here last time; yard back in form, though, so not ruled out. |

10st 13lb |
Won a point and placed in a bumper; third on handicap debut at Thurles in February and bounced back to form in first-time cheekpieces when prominent throughout in winning ordinary mares' maiden at Tramore (2m, soft); got 5lb for that; has bits of form on good ground. |

Point-to-point winner; improved for a switch to handicaps in February when taking a close third at Thurles (2m1f, soft to heavy), ordinary enough efforts twice since in handicaps; cheekpieces now added. |
