20th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 100y |

Is 1-13 over fences with the win coming over C&D last summer off 91 (yielding to soft); hard to predict this term with some okay runs in defeat interspersed with poor efforts; his run at Galway was one of the latter when tailed off over fences but not a bad effort over hurdles here on penultimate; others preferred. |

Won the Grade 1 novice here last year, beating stablemate Ballyburn; has experienced a torrid campaign after starting off with a second placing over 2m; remote seventh behind Fact To File in the Irish Gold Cup; not a bad effort in the Grand National; making up the numbers here. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
The furthest he's been is 3m1f in Grade 1 novice at Punchestown Festival (good to yielding) last April which he won in good style, showing improved form; went close over 2m in November and although he slipped up next time and met with heavy defeats twice since, he went well enough to the home turn in Irish Gold Cup on latest; whether he'll stay 4m2f is a big question but he could outrun his odds for a long way. |

Grade 1 novice hurdle winner came back from a long absence last season; won three races as a novice chaser, notably a Grade 1 win at Punchestown over 3m1f; a fine second to the 11lb-receiving Only By Night over 2m at Naas on return; clipped heels and unseated rider early on in the Savills; race may have come too soon when disappointing at Tramore four days later. |

High-class performer, and acts well around here having won over hurdles and a Grade 3 chase over this trip in May; found to have burst after unseating in the Galway Plate; back on comfortable territory here and keeps many of these out of the handicap. |

Rated this high for a reason and was never headed when beating Three Card Brag in a Grade 3 at Killarney when last seen in May; however, he'll do well to repeat those tactics in this race and he was well beaten last year (held up). |

Very smart chaser when at his best but he was well beaten in this 12 months ago and last season's placed efforts were remote ones behind class acts; current wellbeing is a bit of an issue. |

0-15 under Rules and 0-6 in chases; mild promise in three of last four starts in this sphere; shaped like this trip might suit on his penultimate start here when fourth over 2m5f (yielding); chance if repeating that and handling the forecast slower ground. |
