29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
10st 11lb |
The winner of two bumpers and a maiden hurdle; this is a big ask for a maiden over fences (0-4) but his seconds read well (pushed Spread Boss Ted close in one of those) and he looked in need of further than 2m4f when behind that rival and Funiculi Funicula on his handicap debut at Punchestown; could deliver the career best this race demands. |

11st 8lb |
One of eight for trainer; dual bumper and maiden hurdle winner in 2024; runner-up on chase debut at this venue (2m7f, heavy) before falling four out back here next time; failed to justify 5-6 favouritism at Naas (2m4f, soft to heavy) last time when a 0.5l second behind Spread Boss Ted; now enters handicap chase company. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
One of three for trainer; rated 134 over hurdles; completed a hat-trick (two bumpers/maiden hurdle) in 2024; finished second/third in Graded races over 3m/2m4f; good effort on chasing debut at Punchestown (2m7f, heavy) to take the runner-up spot despite market weakness; fell at four out back at that venue last time; Townend sticks with him and this looks easier than his previous starts. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 168y |
11st 5lb |
Second on this card last year; poor form in three points last October/November; jumped poorly and pulled up on return to hurdling at Kilbeggan in April; back to form when winning for Sam Curling in first-time blinkers over C&D in May; soft ground may have harmed his cause on stable debut at Roscommon. |

11st 11lb |
Battled hard to win at Punchestown last time over 3m, his first score; up 6lb for today and should stay this trip; is lightly-raced for his age and likely still progressing; a player. |

Career has been punctuated by long absences; decent effort at Clonmel last time (2m4f, yielding) when left in fourth; this trip could bring improvement. |

Career has been punctuated by long breaks; coped better than most with very testing conditions when third of four finishers at Thurles (2m7f, heavy) last month on stable debut; two less encouraging runs since then; hard to assess, makes handicap debut. |
