30th Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |

Veteran a winner of eight races; step in the right direction at Roscommon latest, is ground versatile and is on last winning mark but hasn't fired in three previous visits to this venue. |

18th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 48y |
9st 6lb |
Likeable front running veteran goes well here; last won over C&D in May 2025 off this mark and was beaten a neck in this race last year, again off this mark; showed he retained ability when second at Fairyhouse in May; trip was too far on latest, could make a bold bid. |

Veteran won over 1m4f at Roscommon last year and was second at Fairyhouse in May; two Galway wins among his career tally of eight, so not a forlorn hope despite advancing years; second reserve. |

Capable dual-purpose performer won a nice pot on the Flat at Killarney last August off 4lb lower; stepped forward from below-par seasonal return when a 4.75l fifth at Fairyhouse on latest (3l behind Not Just Any Eagle); eased 2lb and place chance. |

Plenty went wrong on handicap debut (1m2f AW) and didn't run badly as a consequence; however, was again slowly away back at Dundalk (1m) the last time and the hood tried then is now dispensed with; risky for now. |

Is 0-4 on the Flat, divided between turf and AW (tailed off in sole handicap over 1m4f at Dundalk); did make the frame in a maiden hurdle here in February (tailed off in latest hurdle) and all things considered he has a lot to prove; blinkers are new. |
