Maiden/novice wins during the summer of 2024; mostly disappointing in the meantime, 35l behind at Leopardstown last time (2m, yielding); others preferred. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Dual novice winner (including here over 2m) last year; best effort in 2025 a neck second at Wexford (2m1f, gd-yld) on penultimate; didn't back that up off 7lb higher at Newton Abbott latest (pulled up); talented on his day but difficult to predict. |

Launched hurdling career with two 2m wins in novice company last year and was close second on handicap debut at Wexford (2m1f, good to yielding) this month; could have untapped potential over this longer trip; commands respect. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Didn't take to fences when tailed off on his penultimate run but he then made all for a 5l defeat of Ukantango over C&D to make it 3-5 over hurdles; a 5lb rise is fair enough with the promise of more to come. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Low-mileage 6yo with 2-4 strike-rate in maiden/novice hurdles last season; tailed off in three-runner race when switched to fences for last month's handicap debut but now quickly reverts to hurdling; should still have potential. |

22nd May 2025 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won two minor hurdles on either side of his remote fifth in the Grade 2 Persian War at Chepstow in October, last time making all at Taunton (2m3f, good to firm) after wind surgery; likely that he's held in some regard and brings plenty of potential to chasing. |

Won second race over hurdles when landing a handicap at Listowel (2m2f, gd-yld) in September; below best twice since, in a handicap chase at Clonmel and a handicap hurdle on heavy at Limerick in December; off since and record fresh suggests he might need this run. |

Held his form well after winning a Down Royal handicap last August (2m1f, good to firm); back from a break, he appeared to get outstayed by the front two over 2m3f at Cork; no match for an easy winner at Tramore; one of the main contenders here. |
