11st 1lb |
Won a Limerick 4yo Grade 2 in 2022 but no win since; some decent efforts in defeat earlier this year but was well beaten in a 2m4f Punchestown handicap last time; the drop in trip may help. |

Smart form as a younger horse but on losing run since Grade 2 success at Limerick in December 2022; a step in the right direction in a 2m Cork conditions hurdle on latest but he's unproven at this trip; 4lb wrong and hard to fancy. |

Gradually progressing over hurdles; outstayed over 2m at Limerick in January and again outpointed by a Mullins-trained horse here earlier this month (seventh home No Fussing won since); unlikely to get a better opportunity than this and very hard to oppose. |

Looked to have lost his way in points and hunter chases but came back to his very best when landing the Midlands National at Kilbeggan; never competitive in the Galway Plate but has a stellar record at this venue and should run a big race. |

Won a hunter chase in May and last time returned to his best when emerging from off a strong pace to beat Perceval Legallois in the 3m1f Midlands National at Kilbeggan; ideally wants further than this but a solid pace would help in that respect; back up 7lb. |

18th Aug 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 140y |
11st 3lb |
Was the subject of a major market move on his second handicap start when returning from a 538 day absence earlier this month at Wexford (sent off 4-1 fav); must have been showing a bit at home and he shaped well enough before the lack of a recent run took its toll; respected, especially if the money comes again. |
