1st 3 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Experienced novice who had already won three chases by October; progress then stalled until he ran a screamer off top weight (ridden by 7lb claimer) when second in the Jack Richards at the Cheltenham Festival (about 2m4f, good; Regent's Stroll third, Jordans Cross eighth) last month; didn't stay 3m on sole attempt but that came on heavy ground and the experiment looks worth another go; player. |

2nd 1 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
Non-stayer over 3m on heavy ground last time; consistent form otherwise this term features two Grade 3 wins and a couple of 8l seconds at Grade 1 level; useful sort but doesn't necessarily look well treated and likely needs improvement to defy top weight in this hot handicap. |

4th 1 |
8th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Smart form in the first half of the season, with a hat-trick featuring two Grade 3 events; no match for the top-class Romeo Coolio when beaten 8l in the Drinmore at Fairyhouse, beaten the same distance by Final Demand at Limerick, form let down by the winner at the DRF; three Irish wins on goodish ground, heavy going is a concern, though won it over hurdles in France. |
5/2 |

31st Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 1lb |
French 2m2f hurdle winner on heavy; highly-tried over hurdles for current yard to no avail but came good on second attempt chasing in 2m1f Tipperary beginners in May, making much of running and settling issue with good jump at last; much stiffer task here and would appreciate any rain. |

1st 3 |
8th May 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 130y |
11st 12lb |
French 2m2f hurdle winner on heavy; tame debut chasing effort when pulled up behind Ballyburn at Punchestown in November; made no impression on handicap hurdle debut at Fairyhouse last month but that was his first run in 150 days; top yard and the choice of Paul Townend; better expected here. |
4/1 |
