10st 12lb |
Two-time winner over hurdles with his last win coming over C&D in April off 98 (16.5f, yielding); has been running consistently since then without winning; 6.75l sixth of 10 at Wexford last time (2m1f, good to yielding); each-way chance but 2lb wrong. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 180y |

Wide margin winner at Tramore in April and several good runs in defeat subsequently; behind several of today's rivals in those defeats; consistent sort should be thereabouts but may find one or two too good. |

Wide margin winner at Tramore in April and several good runs in defeat subsequently from this sort of mark; handles slower ground and he's one for the shortlist. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
An 11yo now and has pulled up in two hurdle races and a chase since returning from a lengthy break; what could help is getting away from soft ground, as good seems his preference. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |

Point runner-up who is one to watch in the market in first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) on his chase debut; however, this 11yo has been pulled up over hurdles on his last two runs and a major turnaround is needed. |
