11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Contested Grade 1s for Henry de Bromhead; reportedly not himself during the winter but got back on track in narrowly repelling 11-8f Asian Master over 2m4f at Cork last month; has a bit to prove over this far but his class is much respected. |

Achieved a high standard in his prime for Henry de Bromhead; three wins over fences, including at Grade 2/3 level; unconvincing form in points in recent months, beaten favourite in three of his last four races. |

8th Oct 2024 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 10lb |
Rated 132; well-beaten on stable debut on latest behind Donacheady Gale at Listowel (2m6f, soft to heavy) but was giving that rival 19lb; will be getting 3lb from him today thanks to his jockey's claim and the return to better ground is in his favour; fine run here back in August and he should go well. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Showed that he retained spark when fourth of five at Ayr (3m, soft) in January, when he made a bad mistake and jumped to the right at that left-handed track; goes right-handed today; however, tailed off in Grade 2 novice hurdle since and best form has come on soft/heavy going; a visor goes on. |

Useful sort for Willie Mullins but has been well-held when facing mostly stiff tasks for this yard; another one today and best passed over. |

Two hurdle wins for Willie Mullins in 2020, obtaining a mark of 142; well beaten in six completed chase starts for his current stable, all in decent company; in touch when falling four out in a Grade 3 event here in January; should find things easier now in his first handicap. |

20th Jun 2023 Good 2m 3f 170y |
11st 8lb |
Smart 155-rated hurdler, often highly tried; made a promising start to chasing when impressing with his jumping for odds-on win at Thurles in February; pulled up in Grade 3 contest at Naas in March; involved in controversial Killarney race last time, confirmed winner on the day, predictably lost race on appeal; needs to jump a bit better but sets a decent standard. |

Classy sort was a Grade 1 winner over hurdles and was a solid third to State Man in the Morgiana Hurdle in November; jumped well when winning on chasing debut at Thurles recently and should have improved from that; deteriorating ground not in his favour. |
