Irish raider; still 9lb higher than when winning at Bangor (3m, good to soft) in October; didn't run badly when fourth at Perth (3m, good to soft) this month and will be favoured by any rain but needs to up his game. |

3rd Feb 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Finished with a flourish to win lower-grade version of this race a year ago and followed up in C&D match race a fortnight later; back down to a similar mark now but posed no threat behind Half Shot here in November, after a break, and has been off for another 65 days since. |

Dual C&D winner in two small-field events last season; acts on good or slower; absent since may and has had wind surgery; goes well when fresh and should be competitive from this mark. |

Won over fences here (3m2f, good) for Barry Brennan last summer and has posted a couple of good efforts in that sphere this season; reverts to hurdling off lower mark for new stable here; could have a say. |

12st 0lb |
Won at Kelso (2m5f, good) last September and followed up over this C&D (soft); hint of spark at Kelso last time and he's back down to his last winning mark, but has to take another step back in the right direction. |

26th May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |

Second in this race last year and three of his seven chase wins have been at this venue; did little on last three starts, the latest back over fences here when 33-1 after 161-day break, so there are mixed messages. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Tailed off two runs back but the season had started okay given the company he was in and it was a solid enough run to be beaten 6l last time at Fontwell (3m2f, soft); same career-low mark here and firmly in the reckoning. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Makes seasonal debut from a tempting mark and won't fail through lack of stamina but looked out of sorts on both outings at the start of this year and has done all his winning on soft ground; needs combination of wind surgery and first-time tongue-tie to prompt a revival. |

28th Dec 2022 Heavy 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |

A winning chaser but has been in no form over fences since returning to rules and he's 0-9 as a hurdler. |

26th Nov 2022 Good 3m 2f 1y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Beaten in eight points in first half of 2022 and he's been pulled up at big prices back over regulation fences (3m) in two runs this autumn; tongue-tie now returns but he can only be watched. |
