9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Tried chasing twice in Ireland and was an 11l second of 18 in a 2m handicap in one of those; only had three hurdle starts for Olly Murphy and the best was the opening one when second off 3lb lower at Worcester; has to be feared in a first-time tongue-tie. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish 8yo; ran poorly at Uttoxeter last month and is now 0-21 over hurdles but was clear second to a progressive rival on stable debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft) two starts ago and has good claims if judged on that. |

0-22 under rules, but having been well supported he ran his best race so far when second of ten on stable debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft) last month (first and fourth have won since); up 5lb but still 1lb well in and shortlisted if building on that. |

AW winner is a maiden over timber; hasn't built on decent maiden hurdle second at this venue back in handicap company at 2m6f and 3m the last twice; this drop in trip should suit but lots more needed. |

Has been running over fences, exploiting an initially favourable mark (84); handed an 11lb rise for Killarney win in August, when he beat subsequent Listowel winner Pride Of Place; faded after a mistake at the last at Listowel; won again at Galway, scoring by 5l to earn promotion to 104; sound prospects now off just 5lb higher than winning 2m5f event here 12 months ago. |
