27th Apr 2023 Yielding To Soft 2m 7f 130y |

Won a Naas maiden over 2m3f before running poorly in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham; bounced back to run a fine race over this trip at Fairyhouse and could have further improvement. |

8th Apr 2023 Soft 3m 0f 110y |

17th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Fourth in last season's Champion Bumper here; turned over when odds-on for his first two hurdle races (2m5f; just over 3l behind Corbetts Cross in the second) and it was a very winnable maiden that he picked up at Naas (2m3f, soft); however, the demands of this race can spike significant improvement and it would be no surprise if he ran his best race yet. |

11st 10lb |
Most recent of his three wins was in 2024; ran his best race for a long time when 50-1 runner-up in the BetMGM Cup at Cheltenham; remote eighth behind Teahupoo here 12 months ago; up against it. |

2nd 19 |
11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Fifth when 50-1 in this race in 2024 (1lb higher today) and 20l sixth when 80-1 for the Grade 1 Stayers' in 2025, close up turning for home on both occasions; not so good this season and this is a rare run without tongue-tie or other headgear; not entirely dismissed, though. |

2m5f maiden hurdle winner ran well upped to 3m for his handicap chase debut here when third (3m, soft to heavy); built on that to comfortably score at Punchestown (2m7f, soft to heavy) and took advantage of his lower hurdles mark here last time, winning by 4l (2m4f, heavy); he's 10lb higher than his Punchestown win but is towards the top of the shortlist. |

Not bred for stamina tests but ran well upped to 3m here on handicap chase debut when a 9l third; comfortably won over fences at Punchestown last month (2m7f, soft to heavy) and now rated 126 in that discipline; 2m5f maiden winner over hurdles and ran respectably only handicap start last year; leading contender in modest contest. |
