Dual hurdle winner put up a fine run after a break on debut for this yard when runner-up at Clonmel; raised 3lb but might be able to progress enough to defy that; has run well in defeat here before. |

Maiden after 16 runs under all rules; back after an absence with two runs over the summer, the best of which was a fifth in a Wexford h'cap chase; needs his best back over hurdles. |

Returned from a lengthy break to make stable debut at Downpatrick 9 days ago when fifth of 11 (2m2f, good) after leading at two out; entitled to improve from that but majority of hurdles form is not great; needs to improve on chasing debut; trainer also runs Figurehead. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Registered a first Flat win when scoring over C&D in January and it was a creditable effort when chasing home St Faz at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) six days ago; work to do if he's to turn the tables but still one of the more likely ones. |
6/1 |

Recorded his first Flat success when scoring at Southwell in January (1m6f); he has run to a similar level in defeat since and he should remain competitive. |

11st 0lb |
Sole win from 28 hurdling attempts in 2m Cork handicap nearly three years ago; pick of recent form when second there over 2m4f (good) in October, heavy ground probably didn't suit here on latest; on a fair mark and better ground to suit so don't rule out. |

28th Jan 2025 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 0y |
11st 1lb |
1-27 over hurdles, the win coming over 2m on soft to heavy at Cork in April 2022; back to back decent runs in October-November, including over this C&D but both runs came on good ground; not as good in two runs since but he handles testing ground; not discounted. |

A tongue-tie is added after his Kelso disappointment and his two previous runs in 2m5f/2m3f handicaps certainly bring him into the equation; unraced here. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Returned to form with creditable third (just behind Jericoacoara) in valuable series final here (2m5f, good to soft) last month and also ran well when second in small field at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) 16 days ago; each-way claims at least. |
7/1 |

2nd 2 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |

Won four in a row over hurdles in Ireland in May-July 2024; down in weights and first sign of promise since coming to Britain when third of 14 over 2m5f at Kelso (good to soft) 14 days ago; well treated if he can build on that. |

26th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 2f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Got third hurdles win at Wexford in March off 104 (2m, good to yielding); some reasonable runs since then on the Flat and over hurdles; didn't jump fluently at Down Royal but still managed a 5l eighth (2m1f, good to firm); has won on soft and heavy, so ground of no concern. |

Three-time winner over hurdles with the most recent of those coming at Wexford in March (2m, good to yielding) off 104; not too many noteworthy efforts since then, both on Flat and over hurdles, but not bad at the same time; others preferred |

26th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 2f 188y |

Infrequent winner but consistent in the main and deserved his Wexford chase victory a year ago; has failed to take advantage of lower hurdles mark in three outings since then; tailed off here four weeks ago in the race won by Courtbrack Boy. |
