Punchestown 3m7f handicap chase win in April 2022 (good) remains his most recent under rules, but the first of two point starts netted him a last-gasp Bangor-on-Dee success in March; strike-rate of only 1-11 over 3m3f or more, but this would be easier than almost any of those. |

Last success over hurdles came in a Downpatrick maiden in July 2022; has never won a handicap of any description and hasn't looked like changing that in recent starts; new blinkers need to provide a spark. |

Dual-purpose; record of 1-31 over hurdles; couple of promising placed efforts after joining this yard last year but modest form so far in 2026 on the Flat and over hurdles; beaten 23l off 2lb higher at Clonmel latest; others preferred. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 159y |

No win since 2021; has occasionally run well in defeat; improved from a run on the Flat at Navan in March when going well for this jockey (on her first ride over jumps) at Wexford last month; beaten 8l in fourth, so needs to raise his game another notch. |
