11th Mar 2023 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Has been in the best form of his career lately, winning with a bit to spare at Naas and Fairyhouse over this trip, beating Union Park latter occasion; bumped up 9lb since but still has to be respected. |

28th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Off for a year after being touched off in a 2m2f handicap chase at Thurles in 2021; decent effort on his second run back over the same C&D before Christmas, a neck behind today's rival (and subsequent winner) Union Park; bolted up at Naas early in the month, chance has to be taken very seriously despite an 8lb rise. |

4th Jul 2023 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 170y |
11st 11lb |
Infrequent winner is usually held up and needs a solid pace to run into; should at least have improved from his recent return and be involved if at best. |
8/1 |

10th Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Exaggerated hold-up tactics the norm with this horse and he has been mostly frustrating, most recently flattering briefly run-in but no match for a decisive winner at Naas in January; back from a break and while can never be ruled out, hard to be confident in all the same. |
8/1 |

2nd 2 |
8th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Exaggerated hold-up tactics the norm with this horse and he has been mostly frustrating; strong gallop likely and it will suit him; no surprise if he got in the shake-up. |

Out of sorts for a long time before returning to form with a fine effort to finish fifth in the Topham; had decent 2m form early in his career |

He won a Grade 3 novice chase in March 2023 but this 10yo has been nowhere near that level across the last two seasons. |

20th Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Three wins over hurdles at Ballinrobe in 2021; won over 2m4f here in March on heavy and placed over 3m1f (good) at Limerick last time; one of hurdles wins was over 3m1f as well so this trip looks too sharp. |

Wexford handicap winner on heavy ground was held off this mark at Kilbeggan last time and needs more; handles this ground too. |

15th Sep 2023 Yielding 2m 1f 0y |

Three years since latest win in a Sligo handicap chase; not in great form lately although hurdling third at Roscommon in July was fair effort; blinkers tried. |

23rd Aug 2023 Good 2m 1f 93y |
11st 4lb |
Twice a course winner; unsurprisingly struggled from 19lb out of the handicap over fences at Galway; possible he can feature now judged on his previous third behind Presenting Lad over hurdles at Roscommon; the winner has continued to perform well and beat Listentillitellyea at Ballinrobe last time. |

28th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 11lb |
Dual winner over both hurdles and fences albeit some time ago; returned from 277-day absence for current yard in October, well held on the Flat and twice over hurdles; belated AW debut and only second career Flat start. |

Useful four-time jumps winner; has never run on the Flat and lacks a recent outing; has moved from Gavin Cromwell to Paul Flynn. |

17th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 89y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Has modest 2-36 strike-rate over fences but is largely consistent and has been as good as ever this season; not beaten far when seventh in competitive Leopardstown handicap (2m1f, good to yielding) just after Christmas and should be fine over today's longer trip; ought to be on the premises. |

Dual course winner over 2m3f but was 33l behind Mica Malpic over that trip here last time and has to improve enormously on that. |
33/1 |

8th 4 |
12th Aug 2023 Good 2m 3f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner has had excuses for some of his recent form figures; back after a break but has a chance if returning to the form of his 3rd in this race last year. |
