Useful money-spinner, only three wins from 23 starts but placed 13 times, notably when beaten a short head in last season's Cork National; not at his best in the Porterstown but enjoys heavy ground and is leniently treated back over hurdles. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 118y |
11st 6lb |
Three wins at up to 2m6f but not for a while; Tipperary comeback run last month very promising but didn't back that up at Killarney; possibly vulnerable to stronger stayers here and ideally wants it softer. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 85y |

Made an error at the last when beaten roughly 2l behind Queenofthelodge at Tipperary a fortnight ago; 3lb rise is fine and entitled to come on for that first run in six months; two of his wins have come on heavy so warrants respect. |

Has run many of his best races at this track, three wins and three seconds from 14 visits; poor run at Wexford last month; the balance of this season's form has been respectable, and his liking for this circuit is a significant positive |

Won two staying handicap chases on good ground in the first half of last season; ordinary form in recent months; addition of blinkerss failed to do the trick at Kilbeggan eight days ago; joint-favourite then, faded after making a lot of the running. |
