Three wins over hurdles when trained in the UK and was Grade 3-placed; below that form in four chase starts for this yard and has to stage a revival. |

Three-time hurdles winner for Gary Moore; yet to get his head in front in six chase runs; soundly beaten both completed starts for this stable and pulled up on latest at Navan (3m, heavy); leap of faith required to back him here. |

Three hurdle wins in Britain at 2m4f-3m on softish ground; not so effective in three attempts chasing before joining this stable; need to step up now after unplaced runs in a Galway novice event and a handicap at Cork. |

1-9 over hurdles; ended last season on a low note and was again well beaten when back in action in January; makes chasing debut from a good mark but others look much less risky. |

30th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has good jumping pedigree and made quite encouraging hurdle debut when fifth of 13 at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) this month; has quite a bit to find here but is worth keeping an eye on with the future in mind. |

Underwent wind surgery before his debut at Ascot and also ran in a tongue-tie; made no impression in the end but, at 4-1, better was seemingly expected of him; may do better. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |

Maiden who would come into it on his best staying hurdle form but his chase efforts don't compare, including when soundly beaten on the return to fences at Fontwell last time out. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
0-7 over hurdles; ran well when clear third here (3m2f, good) in May but has fitness to prove after five-month break and today's drop back in trip may not be ideal; others preferred. |

25th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |

Struggled over hurdles last season and was pulled up when given another try over fences in January; now 0-14 under all codes and has a lot more to prove than some of these. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
10st 2lb |
Last win came in 3m Kempton handicap in Christmas of 2024; third to Bill Baxter in this race last year but not at best this season, chasing home a clear winner at Ludlow last time (only two finishers); 7lb lower than last year so don't rule out. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Appeared to get his campaign back on track when third over hurdles at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) and, when a 10l fifth over C&D since, he was softened up by getting competitive a good way out; he doesn't have a convincing profile but his pure ability is respected. |
7/1 |

26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Out of form over fences this season but turned things around with creditable third over hurdles at Musselburgh (3m good to soft) last month and it will be interesting to see whether he can build on that performance on this return to chasing. |

Beaten at 5-2, 10-11 and 13-8 on his three starts, and no match for the first two when third on last month's handicap debut here (2m3f, soft); however, he's in top hands and things may click in a big way at some point. |
