10st 12lb |
Sole success came over 2m1f at Limerick in May last year; looked like he might add to his tally when unseating two out at Killarney in May (20.5f, gd-yld) and 2lb lower now; 2m7f-3m perhaps too far the last twice, could rebound back in trip. |

Limerick maiden winner last year and finished good third in the Lartigue at Listowel; easily best run since and just beginning his challenge (going well) when unseating two out at Killarney in May, most recently would have gone closer but for pecking two out at same venue last month over 2m7f; remains of interest; also due to run here yeasterday (3.12). |

17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 180y |

Capable handicap hurdler back in the day (won here in 2022 over 2m4f); series of absences in recent years, most recently good run in the circumstances when hampered by loose horse in finishing fourth in 2m4f Ballinrobe handicap chase in May; first run over hurdles in three years (11lb lower here). |

Capable handicap hurdler back in the day and has won over hurdles and fences here; couldn't cut it in novice company after chase debut win here in 2024 (after longer layoff); nice run on the Flat when last seen in August and, given his track record, this race may have been the plan for a while. |

Three-time winner for Mark Fahey in 2023, including over this trip at Galway off today's mark; some lengthy absences since, most recently encouraging comeback run at Ballinrobe in late May when staying-on third (Jacovec Cavern second) over this trip (good) in first-time cheekpieces; entitled to improve for that and has 4l to find with Jacovec Cavern. |

Tremendously progressive as a 6yo, landing all three handicap starts at trips ranging from 2m2f-2m6f, rising from an opening mark of 94 up to 124; clearly had his issues as he's been off the track 570 days so a watching brief is advised; hooded. |

Won two chases last season and 2-4 back hurdling this term, with all those wins on good ground but he also scored on soft in his novice days; however, tailed off at Windsor on New Year's Day, unraced beyond 2m5f under rules and needs to resume his improvement. |

Two-time winner over hurdles, including 2m4f novice here in 2024; not so effective a chaser, most recently dropping away tamely after forcing much of pace in 2m5f Kilbeggan handicap in May; blinkers now replace cheekpieces on hurdles return with a bit to prove. |

In fine form, winning over 2m4f at Punchestown festival and good efforts off much higher marks since, chasing home an 8l winner over this trip at Ballinrobe and not quite getting home over 3m1f when third at Kilbeggan last month; trip/ground okay and should go well again. |

Handicap chase debutante; 2-10 over hurdles (both wins on good ground) and rated 4lb higher in that sphere; not many positives to take from three beginners' chase runs on soft at 15.5f-2m2f; this trip more suitable but needs the forecast rain to miss. |
