10st 8lb |
Mixing hurdling and chasing in 2024; beat Shadow Rider by 2.5l at Cork (2m3f, soft to heavy) in March off 126; beaten 5.75l off revised mark of 132 subsequently at Punchestown; well-beaten on latest after a break at Chepstow; will come on for that but has a bit to prove off his current rating |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 136y |
11st 3lb |
Pair of Limerick wins last season and fair fourth to Supreme Jet at Wexford on latest chase start; well beaten in last year's renewal and best on testing ground. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
10st 6lb |
Three-time chase winner is 0-23 over hurdles; rated 12lb lower in this sphere but failed to exploit his lesser mark on last start over timber at Gowran; cheekpieces need to eke out more. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 4lb |
In good form this season, gaining second Limerick win last month, coming late under patient ride to win going away (2m4f) on preferred heavy ground; nudged up to near career-high mark now and quicker ground a slight concern. |

11st 6lb |
Both hurdle wins came over 2m, the latest at Downpatrick in the summer of 2023; regressive since and tried at a range of trips; fell early at Gowran in February; much to prove. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 65y |
11st 12lb |
9yo was once rated 132 over hurdles but has been sparingly raced in recent years and out of sorts in early summer; four previous chase outings came back in 2022, faller twice; hard to be confident in. |

11st 5lb |
Veteran is a three-time course winner, the latest coming over C&D on testing ground off 111 in March last year; 2lb higher now and has been mostly out of form since but he'll get his preferred underfoot conditions here; can't be dismissed. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Winless since May 2023; some sound beatings among his current sequence of frame finishes, but he did run the winner to about 7l at Fakenham latest (2m5f, good to soft) with a next-time winner just behind. |
7/2 |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Regressive 8yo who is 0-5 over fences and has been absent since his well-held fourth at Bangor (2m1f, good) last March; might have been refreshed by a layoff but could be considered only if lively in the betting. |
5/1 |
