9th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 100y |
11st 3lb |
Has made good strides since his debut in December, never really landing a blow but best run yet when eighth in a strong renewal of the Supreme Novices' last month; steps up in trip now and leading claims. |

14th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Made his debut only in December and won a big-field maiden at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in January on his second hurdle start; he was receiving weight from the first two when third in the Grade 3 Red Mills Trial Hurdle at Gowran (2m, soft to heavy) last month but it was still a highly creditable run behind two experienced class acts in Fil Dor and Sharjah, and this very lightly raced 6yo could have more to offer for his top trainer; interesting. |

Talented hurdler placed at Grade 2 level in that sphere; 0-4 over fences and has been sparingly raced in the last two seasons; off since below par effort on debut for this yard at Wexford in May; capable but probably best watched on return to action. |

Two-time hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott in 2023; out of form for former yard, but there were definite signs of life pn stable debut when fourth of 12 over fences at Tramore, making a bad mistake at the fifth; that is something to build on back over timber now. |

High-class staying hurdler, rated 155; 0-5 so far chasing this term but much more encouraging run on latest when second to the classy Oscars Brother in Grade 2 Ten Up Novices' at Navan last month; jumping still requires attention but is 13lb lower than hurdles here in first handicap chase. |

High-class staying hurdler, rated 155; now has serious questions to answer after his first four chase starts; remote seventh in Leopardstown event won by Koktail Divin (previously beaten by Oscars Brother at Punchestown); needs to jump a lot better than in 2m4f Gowran event; longer trip should be a help at least. |

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 hurdle wins for John McConnell at 2m4f; out of form last season; some promise when fourth on his stable/chasing debut at Kilbeggan, 3 1/2l behind today's rival Harsh; made a mistake at the last then; fell in the lead four out over C&D two weeks ago. |

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. |
