3rd May 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
10st 12lb |
Four-time winner relished the heavy ground when a surprise winner from Instit in a Listed at Fairyhouse last time; trainer credited a pallet operation for that effort; will do well to repeat that here on this better ground. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 160y |
10st 1lb |
Winless in 31 attempts hurdling; 3-35 over fences, with two of those at Tramore; flopped when well fancied for course handicap hurdle in February; fair fifth over fences at Tramore last month. |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 160y |
10st 4lb |
3-34 over fences, with two of those successes coming at this track, including when 33-1 chance in this race in 2023; creditable third in a 2m7f handicap chase here on New Year's Day; flopped when well fancied for a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time. |

10th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 0y |

Is 3-34 over fences; veteran's recent form is solid, featuring a third placing over C&D last month and a third in a handicap chase at Tramore on New Year's Day; 0-30 record over hurdles is a significant negative; rider's claim is an asset. |

19th Oct 2023 Yielding 2m 4f 112y |
10st 13lb |
Point winner; not always fluent over fences, as seen when making a bad mistake at the last at Tramore in August and unseated on his previous two outings; 5lb rise probably isn't an issue and this ground is fine but needs to jump better. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Winning chaser in Ireland; has performed okay in a pair of 2m4f handicap chases at Uttoxeter (following wind surgery) without posing much of a threat; this longer trip should be beneficial. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Won twice over fences last year in Ireland; had wind surgery in between his two runs for current yard and was well off the pace before staying on over C&D last time (beaten about 8l); could improve on that form. |
14/1 |

16th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Dual 2m6f chase winner in Ireland last spring but returned from seven-month break with heavy defeat for new stable at Stratford (2m6f, good; had wind op soon afterwards) last month; might have needed that outing and may settle better in first-time hood here but others have much less to prove. |

Early exits last twice having been placed for the first time at Ballinrobe (2m5f) on his first run of the year in May; shorter trip probably not a plus. |

Sole win came in 3m1f Punchestown handicap in late 2023; kept busy in recent weeks, standout on latest when third of seven at Limerick (24.5f, soft to heavy) 11 days ago; booking of Darragh O'Keeffe a plus. |

Sole win over fences in Britain came at Catterick last season; however, tailed off at Ludlow when last seen, has stamina to prove at this trip and probably best watched on yard debut returning from 163 days off (bought for £10,000 in August). |
