2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 118y |
10st 0lb |
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. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 70y |
11st 2lb |
Smart form in his younger days, including a Grade 2 win, but has lost his way; soundly beaten at Leopardstown last time when well behind Soir De Garde and he's poorly treated by these race conditions. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 2f 72y |

Won a Grade 2 in 2022 (2m, heavy); has struggled since then; more likely to return to winning ways in a handicap; looks out of his depth here with blinkers replacing previously work cheekpieces. |

On a lengthy losing run and he's offered little in two runs for his current handler, tenth in 2m4f Perth handicap 30 days ago; he's not easy to make a case for. |

11st 4lb |
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. |

2nd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 2f 152y |

Second in a Naas bumper last winter first time out; absent until a moderate fourth at Sligo in October; fair run as stable's second-string at Thurles on first hurdles outing, taking fifth in a contest won by a subsequent Grade 2 winner; 14l clear of the third when chasing home a well-fancied rival at Limerick last time; strong chance. |

Has a particular fondness for Killarney and won for the fifth time there three weeks ago, where he beat What Path by 1.5l over a slightly shorter trip; was just doing enough, so headgear back on; likes good ground. |

Another in here with plenty of back-class; visored when disappointing at the Cheltenham Festival but that aid was missing when 15l behind Journey With Me at Cork, where 2m4f was on the sharp side; better expected here. |

Useful track performer at best with 3-4 record in points since last October; capable of better than he showed when fourth in a hunter chase run at Thurles in January; subsequently beat record-breaking pointer Winged Leader at Nenagh, with Whacker Clan a distant third; sights lowered after Cheltenham Festival bid. |

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. |
