10st 0lb |
Three-time chase winner is 2-29 over hurdles; rated 13lb lower over timber but recent form in both codes has been disappointing and a major revival is needed. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 4lb |
Better chaser than hurdler, although hasn't won since taking 2m4f Cork handicap hurdle in November 2023; safely held over hurdles of late, of limited appeal back chasing. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner last season, latterly when beating Latenightpass by 7l in this race (good to soft; first-time cheekpieces); seen only once this term, landing prestigious Velka Pardubicka cross-country chase in Czech Republic (4m2f, good; back in cheekpieces) in October, and has a lofty handicap mark to overcome but still commands respect; blinkers back on today. |

5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Cross-country chasing could hardly have gone better, which augurs well, as does his markedly improved form over 3m5f in the Cheltenham version on last two outings; spending the last third of it off the bridle at the Festival last month (with first-time cheekpieces; last season's blinkers now return) is a niggling worry, and slogging it out was a taxing as well as serious achievement, but he finished well on top and can race off the same mark today; on the shortlist. |

Dual 2m hurdle winner on yielding ground in Ireland; placed in 6-28 chase starts but recent form suggests that a 7lb drop and the application of cheekpieces won't see him break his duck in this discipline. |

23rd May 2023 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 180y |

More than two years since the last of his two wins and, from the front, he weakened out of the picture at Thurles three months ago; others appeal more. |

23rd Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 70y |
