9th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 5f 54y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Won over fences here (2m4f, good) and at Cheltenham (3m1f, soft) in 2023, but contrasting performances in his last five starts; 2lb below his last winning mark, but not quite sure what to expect. |

Won over fences in September and December 2023 and he was back near his best when second off this mark at Wetherby (3m, soft; unraced on heavy) two months ago; in the mix. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
10st 6lb |
Stays a lot farther and needs good ground; some good runs in defeat around Cheltenham and when second to Perceval Legallois in 2024 Paddy Power at Leopardstown; second off much lower hurdles mark in November, but moderate form since; reckon this track will be plenty sharp for him. |

14th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Rated 19lb higher over fences but lost his form in that sphere; has failed to exploit his lower hurdles mark on last two runs over timber and may need quicker ground than this. |

10st 6lb |
Two out of five when switched to fences last season, highly fortunate at Plumpton (3m2f, soft) for the second win but he did shape as if he could be an out-and-out stayer; allied to a good first-time-out record, that makes him interesting for today's reappearance. |

12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Rallied to win at Newbury (extended 2m6f, good to soft; 4lb higher today) in November after slow jump at the final fence; nothing of that ilk before or since and while he did plug on for seventh in the 3m2f Kim Muir at Cheltenham last time, this much longer trip does not significantly boost his prospects. |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Has an in-and-out profile and his jumping can be an issue; however, he did well to rally for a cosy win after a slow jump at the final fence on his reappearance at Newbury (extended 2m6f, good to soft) in November, and the manner in which he stayed on for a fair sixth at Ascot (3m, good) last month suggests today's extra yardage will be a positive; interesting. |

Pulled up on final start last season and the same story on both this term, tried in cheekpieces on latest; 13lb below his career-high mark and reverts to hurdling (from chasing) for the first time since April 2023. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Disappointing at Leopardstown in December last time but in good form previously for new yard, finishing second in the Munster National in October (3m, yielding to soft); 13l fourth in this race last year when he'd have been closer but for a bad late mistake; each-way shout if back on song. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Won a 3m Doncaster novice handicap chase in fine style for Nigel Twiston-Davies in January; second-best of the home team when fourth behind Daily Present in the Kim Muir; can be expected to improve from stable debut at Listowel; prospects of reversing form with Talk In The Park. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Won a 3m Doncaster novice handicap chase in fine style for Nigel Twiston-Davies in January; not a bad effort when last seen at Aintree in April; bought for 40,000GBP at Goffs in May; worth a market check on first start for new yard. |
