10st 3lb |
Last year's Irish Lincolnshire winner has lost way since a Galway premier handicap third last August; beaten 21l in both starts this season and remains 5lb above last winning mark; revival needed. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won the Irish Lincolnshire (1m, soft) last March before finishing third in this (good to soft) and at the Galway festival (8.5f, yielding); a market check is advised but he's now been below par on each of his last four runs, having finished down the field in the Irish Lincolnshire on his reappearance. |

Four-time winner but not since Irish Cambridgeshire win of 2024; definite encouragement on second start back off reduced mark without quite staying this trip at Leopardstown; blinkers now replace visor and now 11lb below career-high mark but stamina remains a concern at this trip. |

Consistent handicapper last season; last win came at Galway festival over 1m on soft in July; good effort over C&D when short head second in Irish Cambridgeshire in August; acts on all ground; last two hurdle runs of limited significance and should be fitter than most after them. |
