27th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 110y |
10st 8lb |
Prolific winner under both codes, last two hurdle wins were in claimers at Roscommon and Sligo last summer; fourth to Ahead Of The Posse when attempting repeat Roscommon win on latest but enjoys a big turn around in the weights with that rival here so has to be considered a major player. |

Comfortable winner of this race 12 months ago (on good ground) and ran okay in a handicap 22 days ago when returning from a lengthy break; likely to go well. |

Better chaser than hurdler and not likely to be progressive at the age of ten; major improvement is needed from recent handicap hurdle runs |

7th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Regressive 10yo who ended 2023 with two disappointing chase runs for Ewan Whillans; might have been refreshed by combination of subsequent 172-day break and change of scenery, though, and market support will bring him into the equation; 2lb wrong; cheekpieces/tongue-tie removed. |

18th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Some respectable efforts at around 2m this autumn but he took his losing run to 23 when well held at Sedgefield (2m3f, soft) 20 days ago; bit to prove again after that and he goes into unknown territory at this trip. |

Has failed to finish in four of his last six starts and pulled up in two recent handicap chases; wouldn't want much rain to arrive and others preferred. |

Won four handicap chases in 2021; losing run since and pulled up over fences on this season's return; probably best watched having struggled from his lower hurdle mark twice since. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
10st 6lb |
Modest strike-rate of 3-39 over fences with last win coming over C&D in August 2024; jumped badly when pulled up on final two starts in 2025; possibly needed the run at Limerick ten days ago. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |
11st 4lb |
Modest strike-rate of 3-38 over fences with last win coming at Kilbeggan in August last year; jumping awry when pulled up in his two most recent starts in December; suited by better ground but others preferred. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 100y |

Modest strike-rate of 3-35 over fences; is 9lb below his last win and was still going okay when unseating three out at Cork (16.5f, good) on penultimate; 2m5f may have stretched him on latest at Clonmel; good ground key. |

Three years since latest win in a Sligo handicap chase; not in great form lately although hurdling third at Roscommon in July was fair effort; blinkers tried. |

23rd Aug 2023 Good 2m 1f 93y |

Twice a course winner; unsurprisingly struggled from 19lb out of the handicap over fences at Galway; possible he can feature now judged on his previous third behind Presenting Lad over hurdles at Roscommon; the winner has continued to perform well and beat Listentillitellyea at Ballinrobe last time. |

Veteran added a fourth win when landing a C&D handicap in July (good) off this mark; third of 16 at Kilbeggan last time suggests he still retains some level of ability. |

Veteran added a fourth win when landing a Wexford handicap hurdle last summer (2m1f, good); creditable efforts over hurdles and fences over the winter but others preferred. |
