Winner of ten races; last of six stakes race wins was in 2023 Royal Whip over 1m2f at the Curragh; however, he proved that he retains considerable ability and enthusiasm when winning a conditions event over this trip at the Curragh on seasonal debut; (Dallas Star third, Emit fourth), that was his first 1m6f attempt, on his 47th outing. |

3rd May 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 30y |
9st 10lb |
Last year's Galway Hurdle runner-up, a long time since the last of his five Flat wins (enjoyed highlight in the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup in 2021); slipping in the ratings and fit from hurdling. |
16/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 0lb |
9yo was second to Lord Erskine in this last year and later first past the post in the Galway Hurdle (demoted for interference); back from winter break when midfield in County Hurdle last month (close up behind Karbau and Hello Neighbour), tiring from last; entitled to come on for that. |

Dual-purpose 9yo in fine form in Flat/hurdle codes last year, first past the post in the Galway Hurdle (demoted to second behind Ndaawi for interference); respectable efforts on Flat subsequently; first race for five months. |

12th May 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Impressive debut winner over 9.5f at Gowran last summer and ran respectably in Group company after; ground was very heavy when beaten favourite at Naas on return; first time running over this short a trip and interesting contender. |

3rd 3 (3) |
12th May 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y |

in touch with leaders, headway and prominent on near side of group 2f out, outpaced when short of room and hampered inside final furlong, kept on towards finish, no match for first two |

2nd 1 (3) |
24th Mar 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 98y |
9st 7lb |
All three starts over a similar trip to this; impressive maiden winner at Gowran before running creditably in Group class in France and at the Curragh; has been off since August, though and has yet to encounter ground this soft; big player if handling it. |

Landed a Roscommon winners race on his seasonal bow in June; not disgraced in the German Derby subsequently but well beaten at Naas since and others look more likely. |
