Won heavy-ground Irish maiden in early 2023 but struggled in three British handicaps for new stable last month; swaps usual hood for first-time cheekpieces here; leap of faith required to support him. |

10st 9lb |
No ground worries; best winning day in the 2024 Grand National Trial at Haydock and he's been placed in last two editions of the Troytown in November; those were over fences but he has a much lower hurdles mark and was a close second to Duke Silver in the Leopardstown qualifier; good chance he'll be outspeeded in this but dangerous if he turns for home in contention. |

22nd Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 0y |

Won the 2024 Grand National Trial at Haydock; fine effort in third behind Stuzzikini in the 2024 Troytown and went one place better behind Answer To Kayf in this season's edition; 143-rated chaser could finish only second from a mark of 118 in a handicap hurdle at Christmas; however, the run kept him ticking over, and he could be a big player. |

Eyecatching Clonmel debut run in January, making up good late ground under claiming lady rider when third over 2m; very disappointing however when upped markedly in trip at Downpatrick last month, weakening from two out; shorter trip here should suit, potential remains and this looks a weak maiden. |

Was the subject of a major market move on his second handicap start when returning from a 538 day absence earlier this month at Wexford (sent off 4-1 fav); must have been showing a bit at home and he shaped well enough before the lack of a recent run took its toll; respected, especially if the money comes again. |

In front when falling four out at Wexford in July on second chase start and a final-fence blunder proved costly when second there in August last time; could do with cutting out the mistakes but the first-time cheekpieces may help in that regard; one of two for last year's winning Irish yard. |

Two-time hurdle winner for John McConnell at 2m4f; out of form last season but his stable/chasing debut at Kilbeggan last time was not devoid of promise when behind some decent rivals and he would have likely finished third but for a mistake at the last; that gives him something to build on. |
