18th Oct 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 125y |
11st 1lb |
Some decent novice form and won beginners' chase over 2m at Roscommon (novicey jumping); often prominent, or leads, but settled well when waited with in 2m4f handicap at Kilbeggan, just starting to feel the pinch when badly hampered before the last. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
11st 6lb |
Hurdles and bumper winner off the mark over fences when justifying favouritism in a beginners' at Roscommon (16.5f, soft) and the runner-up won next time out; stamina for this longer trip is a big query, however. |

Placed in both chase starts last year; second behind Downmexicoway at Killarney and a 5l third behind Birdie Or Bust at Listowel; 9-2 for handicap chase bow at Punchestown on seasonal return when fell early; probably the one to beat if that hasn't dented his confidence. |

Second runner for Gordon Elliott; bumper, hurdles and Flat winner on good and soft ground; recent Flat form has been below his best, although step in the right direction last time at the Curragh; first hurdles run since tailed off at Ballinrobe in the summer of last year. |

Bumper winner who upped his form to another level when winning a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse in April with a subsequent winner back in third (2m4f soft); tailed off when out of his depth at Punchestown festival last time (2m3f, yielding); will likely be seen at his best over fences. |

Beat some useful sorts when scoring in a rated hurdle here in November (20.4f, sft-hvy) but struggled in handicaps on next two starts and his third here on latest in February was a remote one; just 1lb lower now; others have more pressing claims. |

12st 2lb |
Hurdles winner made a positive seasonal return at Listowel in May when second (2m5f, good to yielding) and that run set him up nicely to win his chasing debut at Wexford in a novice contest (2m4f, good), jumping soundly to repel Costacurta by 2.5l; turnaround at the weights with that rival should bring them closer. |

Justified strong market support when scoring by 12l on debut for this yard at Bellewstown (2m5f, good) in July; has struggled off 16lb higher mark in three runs since; may need some help from the handicapper. |
