Four-time scorer over timber has not looked like a winner in waiting in three runs in 2025; beaten 24l off 125 in a handicap hurdle here on latest; overlooked by Jack Kennedy.

Form & Verdict
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner; didn't fire when well behind The Friday Man at Galway but that clearly wasn't his running as he had given the winner, Salvador Ziggy, a good run for his money at Punchestown in May; a fair bit on his plate here all the same.

Last success over hurdles came in a Downpatrick maiden in July 2022; has never won a handicap of any description and hasn't looked like changing that in recent starts; new blinkers need to provide a spark.

Went close in the 3m5f Porterstown Chase at Fairyhouse last December; out of form until running creditably over 2m6f here on Thursday; has a bit to find with third-placed Arctic Gale.

Form & Verdict
Is 2-16 over hurdles and good effort at Galway on penultimate start; promising 7lb claimer on board; ran well in competitive handicaps at this track last term; not ruled out but stablemate The Friday Man is better treated at the weights.

Left Gordon Elliott after disappointing hurdle run last autumn; well beaten again on stable debut in March but, after wind surgery, he returned to chasing with a good second at Fakenham (3m, good) 19 days ago; has possibilities if he can build on that but his last win was in 2023.

Left Gordon Elliott after disappointing hurdle run last autumn and was again well beaten when returning for new stable in March; given a wind op since and reverts to chasing on a workable mark but still looks risky.

Best known as a chaser these days and was tailed off back over hurdles on his final run for Gordon Elliott, whom he left for £30,000; on a good mark but there's much to prove on first sighting since October.

Perth maiden winner had couple of good runs in useful six-runner contests at this track last term although flattered by his close-up fourth in a slowly-run Grade 3 in November; solid run when second in 3m1f Carlisle handicap the following month; likely to come on for this first start since March.
