Off the mark over 10.5f at Down Royal; third of 19 at the Curragh (1m2f); stuck to his task well then but stamina has to be a concern over this much longer trip.

Has kept good company over hurdles since his last Flat run almost a year ago; that was in the Group 2 Curragh Cup; this is more realistic but he has plenty of weight.

Cheekpieces have done the trick and built on Down Royal 10.5f success when dotting up over 1m5f against older rivals at Leopardstown (soft); got 13lb for that but may well improve further.

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.

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.

Sole win came at Cork in 2023; decent form last autumn, including a close third over 1m4f at Galway and second in a 19-runner contest at the Curragh, with Whats New, Earthsong and Bruant behind; may improve from a Cork run, but has to reverse form with Celtic Drud and Earthsong.

Sole win came at Cork two years ago but went close last summer over 1m7f at Leopardstown and more recently close third over 1m4f at Galway last month; didn't quite get home in heavy ground at Listowel but solid run nonetheless; blinkers now replace cheekpieces.
