Pulled up in three of his last four races; beaten 20l when second at Limerick on penultimate start; seems risky. |

Dual winner here in testing ground but lost his form badly in the spring; needs a revival on debut for a new yard. |

Placed in three of his last five chase starts, most recently when third behind Munster National hopeful Pride Of Place at Listowel; stays well and is likely to be competitive. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 180y |

Continues to run well now and again but he's 8lb higher than for his last handicap win over fences and looks vulnerable. |

5th Aug 2025 Yielding 3m 1f 10y |

Rebounded from fall at Punchestown with a 6.25l third at Killarney (behind Jeu De Pic); remains 8lb above last chase win and may be in the handicapper's grip right now but still has a place chance. |

Returns to rules on the back of competitive efforts in points but he was a maiden hurdler and this is his first time over regulation fences; others perhaps safer. |

15th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 185y |

No show in four maidens but a better effort on return in a Sligo handicap (2m4f) with cheekpieces; is likely to have improved from that run and a tongue-tie is added up in trip; a player. |

Two wins at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last year and on a handy mark on that form; soft ground may not have suited here last time but he's now been well below par on his last two starts and has to get back on track. |
