11st 12lb |
Dual-purpose; the best of these over hurdles (rated 143); no impact on first three starts for this yard in hot handicap hurdles; well beaten on sole previous chase start at Cork when with Gavin Cromwell but this much easier; wouldn't want it too soft. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Two wins apiece on the Flat and over hurdles during his time with Gavin Cromwell but well beaten in a big-field handicap on the Flat and over hurdles (behind a few of these at Dublin Racing Festival) since joining current yard; the refitting of blinkers needs to help spark a revival. |

Nine-race maiden; attracted some support on his stable debut at Kempton four weeks ago (1m4f) where he finished a creditable fourth of the ten runners; needs more to defy the same mark but his best run for Johnny Murtagh came over 1m2f on good ground and new cheekpieces could help. |
