2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
10st 0lb |
Not a great strike rate but on song on latest when readily landing 3m1f Fairyhouse handicap last month in first-time blinkers; raised 12lb for that but still 12lb out of handicap here so plenty on his plate. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
10st 0lb |
Promise here on seasonal reappearance; failed to build on that on next four starts but signs of a revival when staying on for a 9.5l fourth back here (3m, heavy) on latest; blinkers could eke out more but he's 7lb wrong and looks up against it. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
11st 5lb |
Two-time chase winner; fine effort when runner-up in a Cartmel handicap chase in June 2025 but only seen three times since and well beaten both starts in 2026, over hurdles at Haydock and in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham; needs to rediscover best. |

Runner-up at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) last June and he's run well at up to 3m in the past; however, he was tailed off at 50-1 over hurdles at Haydock last month when back from a break and looks up against it today. |

20th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 110y |
11st 11lb |
Won a handicap chase in November of last year at Thurles off 97 (2m6f, yielding); second off 90 over this C&D in October 2022 but that was on soft ground; found to be clinically abnormal after pulling up on return from a break at Galway; best form is on yielding-soft; others preferred unless it rains. |

29th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 5f 70y |
11st 9lb |
Needs to step up on recent form, but noteworthy on account of having finished 13l second to the progressive Seddon in this race last year; tried with blinkers after Down Royal fourth; beaten a long way then but had Harveys Quay and Soloman Lane behind. |

Veteran has won five times (four over fences) but he has failed to fire in a handicap hurdle and a handicap chase since returning from a 320 day break; remains 8lb above sole hurdles win; others appeal more. |

12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 48y |

Wide margin winner over fences at Tipperary in July 2024 and won over timber here in the interim; likely needed his return at Wexford and while he was beaten a long way out, he won second time out when returned to chasing last term; 2m1f is the main concern for this veteran. |

Won Class 4 Stratford handicap (2m6f, good) last June and returned from layoff with creditable second in Wincanton hunter chase (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; that form puts him on the premises here and he stays 3m perfectly well but he's far too inconsistent to rely upon. |
