Two seconds this season came either side of being pulled-up at Galway where he never recovered from being hampered three from home; will need to improve on his Downpatrick showing and this isn't any easier. |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Has National honours having won the Cork version in November (3m4f, soft/heavy); it's been a sorry state of affairs since then with four non-completions and, while his trainer can work wonders, he's not overly appealing with that background. |

19th Feb 2023 Yielding To Soft 3m 4f 40y |
10st 9lb |
Beat Defi Bleu in the Munster National, now 10lb higher; let down by his jumping over the National fences in the Becher and in the Paddy Power; reportedly made a noise when pulled up in the Thyestes; not a betting proposition against that background. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 7f 68y |
11st 7lb |
Thyestes winner of 2024 for Henry de Bromhead (off 144) went on to finish decent sixth in Grand National but long absent until faller at the last after never featuring on yard debut in 3m bet365 Premier Chase at Kelso in February; best form on heavy so obvious ground concerns. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Reserve; 12yo who had his finest hour when winning the Thyestes at Gowran Park (3m1f, heavy) in January 2024; sixth in that year's Grand National and he's 8lb lower today, but that's having raced just once since (having left Henry de Bromhead for £40,000 last October) when taking a final-fence fall, well beaten at the time, in a Listed event six weeks ago. |

11st 12lb |
Wexford maiden hurdle winner last year; had no answers for Upping The Ante at Tipperary on seasonal reappearance and may have finished closer at Downpatrick if not hampered two out; could well improve now up in trip; each-way claims. |
