30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
11st 10lb |
Most recent of his three wins was in 2024; ran his best race for a long time when 50-1 runner-up in the BetMGM Cup at Cheltenham; remote eighth behind Teahupoo here 12 months ago; up against it. |
33/1 |

2nd 19 |
11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Fifth when 50-1 in this race in 2024 (1lb higher today) and 20l sixth when 80-1 for the Grade 1 Stayers' in 2025, close up turning for home on both occasions; not so good this season and this is a rare run without tongue-tie or other headgear; not entirely dismissed, though. |
50/1 |

22nd Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 110y |
11st 3lb |
Smart hurdler at his best; often highly tried, including at Cheltenham and Punchestown last season after he had finished third behind Rocky's Diamond in this race; anchored by a big burden in a handicap at Leopardstown at Christmas. |

20th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 6f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Won twice over hurdles last season and finished a respectable third to Rocky's Diamond in the Galmoy Hurdle at Gowran; not disgraced as an 80-1 chance when sixth in the Stayers' at Cheltenham; did not look a natural over fences in his three chase runs in the previous season; should be helped by this longer trip after his reintroduction to chasing at Galway. |

11st 12lb |
Won twice over hurdles last season and finished a respectable third to Rocky's Diamond in the Galmoy Hurdle at this venue; not disgraced as an 80-1 chance when sixth in the Stayers' at Cheltenham; remote eighth at Punchestown on final start; has not looked a natural over fences in his three chase runs in the previous season; needs more fluency. |
