Third reserve; not a bad run on comeback making handicap debut at Downpatrick; could be involved with improvement likely up in trip. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 180y |
11st 10lb |
Eight-time chase winner; beat Majborough and Energumene at Cork in December; won this race last year, holding off the late challenge of Saint Sam (Blood Destiny a 7.25l third); pulled up in the Champion Chase last time, but this is more his level and he is the one to beat. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Fared best of the rest behind the impressive winner in the 2024 Arkle but weakened into last of five finishers in this contest last season and has largely fallen short at Grade 1 level in open company; beaten 19l by Majborough at this year's Dublin Racing Festival and flopped when back down in class at Navan (2m4f; blowing hard post race) later in February. |

28th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 90y |

Eight-time chase winner, including the 2m Fortria at this venue twice; beat top-class mare Dinoblue in this season's edition and then took the notable scalp of Majborough in the Hilly Way at Cork; has since suffered two heavy defeats in 2m1f Grade 1 races at Leopardstown; now back over 2m4f for the first time since beating Saint Sam at Fairyhouse last April. |

Chance is not obvious; still early days and first-time cheekpieces may help his cause. |

30th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 130y |
11st 11lb |
Modest form so far and couldn't get involved when never better than division on handicap debut at Clonmel last week; however, could easily improve for this new trip and this jockey is good value for his 7lb claim. |
9/1 |

21st Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

Not a great deal to recommend from three starts in maidens; always likely to do better in handicaps and interesting to see what the market says. |
