11st 5lb |
Recorded some smart efforts in defeat before coming good at the eighth time of asking over fences when making all in Grade 2 at Punchestown (2m1f, yielding) in November; given a break since fading to finish a remote last of five in a Leopardstow n Grade 1 over Christmas; this is his first start in a handicap over fences. |

23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
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. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
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. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
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. |

Useful dual-purpose performer had good form in staying handicaps last year; around 5l off Busselton at Galway and weighted to turn the tables; no show over fences later in the week at Ballybrit; ran well on sole previous outing here. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
10st 11lb |
Won this in 2024 off 1lb higher mark and timely return to form last month under forcing tactics, winning over 2m at Punchestown and only denied by a neck off 5lb higher over 2m4f at Kilbeggan; up another 3lb but likely big player again. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 6lb |
Back to form with third chase win in fine style at Punchestown nine days ago (20.5f, yielding), making all to win by 3.25l; 5lb rise for that, but won this race off this mark last year; obvious chance if in the same form but consistency not a strong suit. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |
10st 13lb |
2-30 over fences, both wins coming at Kilbeggan; is 5lb below his latest win but he's been out of sorts for a while and not an ideal preparation for this when falling at the fifth fence at Kilbeggan just six days ago; fourth in this last year but others make more appeal. |

6th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Opened chase account at the seventh attempt in a 2m4f event here in April; vulnerable now since he meets El Barra on 15lb worse than handicap terms and without the advantage of a recent run; stable's current form is a positive. |
