25th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 136y |
11st 4lb |
Smart performer in Britain back in the day; went point-to-pointing over the winter and held in hunter chases lately; unlikely. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Very useful hurdler/chaser in Britain in his prime; couldn't contain Lifetime Ambition in a point back in November; fair third to Journey With Me at Cork last month but he went from the front and was readily left behind. |

6th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Very useful hurdler/chaser in Britain in his prime; no appeal on his points form, which has been poor since a 12l second behind good yardstick Lifetime Ambition at Turtulla in November. |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Won well off 4lb lower at Aintree in May (3m1f, good) and a 4lb higher mark doesn't look too damaging; strongly considered as fitness is unlikely to be an issue given his yard. |

1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 150y |
11st 11lb |
Won a Grade 2 handicap over 2m4f a couple of years ago for Harry Fry before losing form; some good efforts in point-to-points, including recent win under this jockey; previously, was only around 7l off stablemate Solitary Man over 2m4f at Cork (disqualified, rider weighed in marginally light). |

Rated in 140s at peak over fences, best form over much further, others preferred. |

6th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Solid overall form in points, highlighted by a defeat of Its On The Line at Cragmore in January; unseated rider in Belclare contest won by Asian Master; stablemate Solitary Man has superior claims. |

7th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Triple hurdle/chase winner at around 2m on good or slower; yet to race beyond 1m5f in this code, nor in a handicap; initial mark gives him a chance based on his best Irish effort; market check suggested. |
