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 |

No wins from 33 attempts (18 over fences) and getting on in years now; dispiriting form in three runs since returned from a 569-day break; pulled up at Punchestown in November, before refused to race at Tramore later that month; more encouraging at Tramore last time, but 20l behind the winner all the same; best watched. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Irish raider who had been hurdling before a successful return to fences over 3m at Fairyhouse last time (heavy), having dug deep to make it 3-8 in this discipline; does seem to have a penchant for deep ground so that's the concern. |

Two wins from seven starts over fences including here in January last year (3m2f, soft) off 95; returns to chasing after three hurdle runs from a much lower mark, two of them tailed off but the middle one at Limerick (2m5f, soft to heavy) was positive when a 5.25l fifth. |

Dual course winner, also placed here four times; battled well from the front to land a mares' handicap at Tramore last August (good); probably in need of the run on course return in February; likely to strip fitter now; won here on her second start after a break last year; strong contender. |
