Sole success came in a maiden hurdle in 2023; has run well in handicaps off higher marks than this; stayed on late for fifth over 2m6f (good) at Ballinrobe last time out in first-time cheekpieces (retained); dropped 2lb and could go well stepped back up to 3m. |

Sole win came in a Thurles maiden hurdle (2m5f, soft) in 2023; has gone close in handicaps but hasn't looked a winner in waiting recently; mark sliding but needs to revive. |

Maiden hurdle winner at Thurles also ran well in 2m7f handicaps at Punchestown off 100 mark early last year (soft); lightly raced and well below best this past winter but entitled to come on from recent Cork comeback run and is down to a dangerous-looking mark. |

20th Aug 2023 Yielding 2m 5f 150y |

One of the better hurdlers in this field and returns to chasing on the back of a handicap win at Down Royal (2m6f) last week; last of four on chase debut at Perth prior to that but better expected this time. |

25th Jan 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Winning pointer and narrowly beaten in a Wexford maiden hurdle; hooded and shaped like needing the run in a 2m3f Naas handicap hurdle two weeks ago; should be spot on for this. |
7/1 |

12th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 24y |
11st 3lb |
Fairly consistent in maiden hurdles in the spring and summer of last year, including when touched off in a 2m4f mares contest at Wexford in May; not seen since a below par effort at Kilbeggan in June; hooded here and probably best watched but worth a market check. |
12/1 |

4th Jun 2023 Good 2m 2f 59y |
11st 5lb |
Point winner at Dromahane in December 2021; has shown a fair standard for form since joining this stable last winter; recent second in 2m4f maiden at Wexford provides plenty of encouragement, since the winner was a Willie Mullins-trained odds-on shot who had been running in Grade 1 races. |

Two of his three wins have come at Tramore, including his sole chase score; solid in defeat at Tramore and Punchestown the last twice; ran well enough over C&D once, so could go well. |
12/1 |

4th 10 |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |
10st 5lb |
Course winner over hurdles on testing ground; 1-6 over fences, the win coming on heavy ground at Tramore; not a bad effort back there on latest (15.5f, good) when a 14.5l fourth of 14 and eased 2lb; could go well if the forecast rain materialises. |

29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |

Won over hurdles at Punchestown in January (2m, sft-hvy); his C&D novice chase win came on testing ground too and it was yielding when he won here over hurdles; goes well fresh so lack of a recent run isn't a concern but could do with some rain. |

Never in the first three; getting on in years now andhard to make a case for him; only positive is that his trainer has always been associated with having fine record with veterans; first reserve. |

Promising enough debut run in Listowel bumper in 2021 but maiden hurdle form since October return has been modest, although was in process of running a better race until bad mistake three out ended his chances at Limerick; tame effort at Thurles raises questions but remains a potential improver on handicap debut. |
