23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Left Gordon Elliott after disappointing hurdle run last autumn; well beaten again on stable debut in March but, after wind surgery, he returned to chasing with a good second at Fakenham (3m, good) 19 days ago; has possibilities if he can build on that but his last win was in 2023. |

Left Gordon Elliott after disappointing hurdle run last autumn and was again well beaten when returning for new stable in March; given a wind op since and reverts to chasing on a workable mark but still looks risky. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Best known as a chaser these days and was tailed off back over hurdles on his final run for Gordon Elliott, whom he left for £30,000; on a good mark but there's much to prove on first sighting since October. |

4th Apr 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
11st 0lb |
Winning hurdler is 0-11 in chases but has run creditably in defeat; best chase effort a 2.25l second in the 2023 Munster National off 132; struggled in the Thyestes and Leinster National since return from long layoff; this much easier but his best form is on soft-heavy. |

0-10 over fences but has run well in defeat, notably when second in the 2023 Munster National; last season's campaign ended prematurely after being brought down in the Troytown; set a tough task in the Thyestes on his comeback; should strip fitter. |

Two-time chase winner hasn't got his head in front since November 2023; hasn't looked like ending the dry spell in two starts for this stable; beaten 54l at Killarney latest; cheekpieces tried. |

Four wins, split evenly between chasing and hurdles; losing run stretches back to November 2023 and debut for this yard was forgettable, as were his final runs for previous one. |

Four wins, split evenly between chasing and hurdles; however, losing run stretches back to November 2023; no sign of a return to the winners' enclosure in 2025 runs; makes stable debut and 1lb wrong. |

1-31 under rules, with sole win coming in a Gowran handicap chase in 2023; posted a decent effort over timber last time when staying on for a 3l fourth (3m, soft to heavy); up 1lb and overall record is off-putting. |

Ex-Irish 7yo who has some fairly useful form on his CV but started off for Jennie Candlish with two very underwhelming chase runs this summer; not an easy horse to weigh up at present but drops in grade for today's hurdling return and enters calculations; refitted cheekpieces replace visor. |
