2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Dual hurdles winner last year at about 2m4f; appeared to be getting the hang of things over fences with a 1l third at the Galway festival (2m6f, good) where What's Up Darling was 1.5l behind off level weights; avoids a penalty and a repeat of his latest effort should see him in the mix. |

Followed up Punchestown maiden hurdle win with a novice success here last year (2m4f, good); out of form since; modest improvement upon chase debut to finish a 9.75l fourth of six at Wexford last time (2m3f, good); the return to this track needs to spark something. |

Useful Flat sort in France; came back from a long absence to win a Tramore maiden hurdle (2m) in June and ran well in two novice events before abruptly pulled up at Limerick last time tried over further; back in trip here for handicap debut with questions to answer. |

Bumper and hurdles winner for Willie Mullins in 2023-24; failed to add tom her tally for Paul Kiely last year and off since an okay run at Navan in February; worth a market check on first run for Harry Kelly. |

Brother to 2m1f chase winner Doyannie, half-brother to winners James's Gate (bumper) and Black Lightning (2m4f/2m5f hurdle); dam 2m hurdle/2m4f chase winner; useful form when making most in Lingstown maiden point-to-point in December and later in month sold for 150,000GBP at Cheltenham Sales; top yard and obvious appeal on rules debut. |

Much improved since going handicapping, just denied at Down Royal before decisive 3m5f success in Ulster National at Downpatrick in late March, winning going away; didn't count just eight days later when tough ask in 3m5f Irish National but don't rule out back in grade here and handles this quicker ground. |

2-4 over hurdles; modest form in beginners' chases; much improved when a neck second over 3m at Down Royal on second handicap start, underlining the stamina shown when winning two points and a 3m hurdle; however, he failed to build on that in the Grand National Trial at Punchestown. |

Point-to-point winner's sole success over timber is a Sligo maiden hurdle; fine effort in Listed handicap hurdle at Navan, took a backward step on latest however in Fairyhouse beginners last week over inadequate trip; once again needs more of a stamina test than this. |
