28th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Bounced back with a bang when easily winning at Downpatrick (2m6f, yielding to soft) off career-low mark on return in March; failed to back that up from 10lb higher at Down Royal but remains fairly treated on pick of old form. |

Bounced back to form with a bang at Downpatrick (2m6f, yielding to soft) when defeating runner-up Coppola by 7.5l off a career low mark; hefty 10lb hit for that, but this three-time hurdles winner has won off a mark of 106 before; big player. |

9st 9lb |
Won his share in Ireland but has been on the downgrade for a while and has had three different trainers in the past nine months; however, he showed enough on the AW here last time to suggest he has each-way claims back up in trip and down another 2lb. |

Losing run stretches back to May 2023 (hurdles); ended 2025 with some modest efforts for James Owen and fared little better when fifth of seven on his stable debut 11 weeks ago (2m, Polytrack); enough to prove. |

Campaigned mostly over hurdles since joining Adrian Keatley; was booked for second-place (at best) when taking a late fall at Southwell three weeks ago; switches back to the Flat in a newly applied visor; was previously effective on the AW at Dundalk, but difficult to know what to expect. |

Won a Market Rasen handicap (2m, good) on his second run for this yard and was a close second there (soft) next time; his form cooled at Perth (2m4f) 19 days ago but he didn't seem to get home at that new trip and has leading form claims back in a 2m novice; respected. |

Ran consistently well when sent over fences last term, culminating in a ready win in a similar contest at Wexford where reapplied cheekpieces seemingly had a positive impact; four of these were behind him there, but he's 8lb higher now and wouldn't it to dry out too much. |

Easily won a C&D seller (good) in December on final run for Gordon Elliott and it was a competitive handicap at Sandown (2m, soft) in which he was tailed off on last month's stable debut; back on better ground but it's hard to be overly confident after last time. |
