30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
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. |

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. |
50/1 |

22nd Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 110y |
11st 3lb |
Smart hurdler at his best; often highly tried, including at Cheltenham and Punchestown last season after he had finished third behind Rocky's Diamond in this race; anchored by a big burden in a handicap at Leopardstown at Christmas. |

Tough task over hurdles last time and wasn't pulling up any trees in handicap chases before that; sights are now lowered considerably but all his three wins have come in the mud. |

Won a couple of bumpers in 2021, including at this festival, but frustrating over hurdles and attempting to bounce back after a poor effort over fences at Ballinrobe last month; others preferred. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Inconsistent last season but wasn't beaten too far on his stable debut here before sent over 4m at Hexham; likes the mud so could do with some rain. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Very inconsistent this season but he ran okay when fifth on his stable debut at Ffos Las (3m, soft) last Monday, in the process shaping as though this marathon trip would be worth exploring; not ruled out. |
14/1 |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Seemingly back in good form when 33-1 second over C&D (heavy; first-time cheekpieces) in January but failed to complete his next two races for Debra Hamer (latest was over hurdles); far too inconsistent to rely upon; headgear left off today on debut for new yard. |

Shirocco brother to 2m2f bumper and 2m5f hurdle winner Youralwaysdreamin; dam 2m hurdle winner, from family of high-class staying chaser The Grey Monk; tongue-tied for debut and although yard going well is probably best watched. |

In good form early last year, scoring by a head at Punchestown (3m, yielding) off 80; beaten a neck off revised mark at Thurles next time (3m1f, good to yielding); fell at the fifth at Kilbeggan when last seen in April; has tended to improve with a run in the past, but player if returning in the same form. |
