10st 7lb |
Fair form in the first half of 2024, completely out of form in three outing this term; 3lb out of the handicap, that offset by rider's valuable 7lb claim. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 185y |
11st 12lb |
Quirky sort who can sometimes be reluctant to race; got a deserved first win after a series of fine runs in defeat at Punchestown in January (2m6f, soft to heavy); beaten just a neck back there next time; bagged another win at Thurles earlier this month, rallying to get back up by a nose despite rider dropping his whip; up 7lb but in great form. |

Gained a deserved first win in 2m6f handicap at Punchestown (soft to heavy) following a series of fine runs in defeat; refused to race at Fairyhouse next time; was again reluctant to line up at Punchestown latest but ran a cracker to be beaten a neck; big player but comes with risks attached; new headgear. |

Veteran is 1-11 over hurdles but that win was in 2021; best form on testing ground and has been off the track for 427 days; entitled to need this on his return; others appeal more. |

Added a second hurdling success over this C&D in June last year off 92 (good to yielding); reverts to hurdles now following several underwhelming runs over fences; time is ticking on but can't be dismissed. |

Sole success came in a maiden hurdle in 2023; has run well in handicaps off higher marks than this; stayed on late for fifth over 2m6f (good) at Ballinrobe last time out in first-time cheekpieces (retained); dropped 2lb and could go well stepped back up to 3m. |

Maiden hurdle winner at Thurles also ran well in 2m7f handicaps at Punchestown off 100 mark early last year (soft); lightly raced and well below best this past winter but entitled to come on from recent Cork comeback run and is down to a dangerous-looking mark. |

Ex-Irish 14-race maiden under rules who has suffered four heavy defeats over fences for this yard, twice in a tongue-tie and once in cheekpieces; no aids today, which might be a straw to cling to, but he has a lot to prove. |
