25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
A little in the doldrums before finishing second in a 2m6f Listed handicap hurdle at Galway in August and then ran well to be third in a chase at Sligo, though old jumping issues resurfaced late on; that part of his game will be tested around here in this big field and he might not stay the trip anyway. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 27y |
11st 10lb |
Bounced back to form with a fine effort in a listed handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival in August; jumping has been an issue at times in this sphere and with a rating of 133, has a lot to find with Jesse Evans on the figures. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 108y |
11st 5lb |
Has been out of form since winning a beginners' chase at Punchestown (16.5f, gd-yld) last October, though has been highly tried at times; unproven over this far and has questions to answer right now. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Unraced beyond 3m2f; came into his own as a novice last term, notably in the 3m Grade 1 at Cheltenham Festival which he won by 4l from Stellar Story; no impact at the top level in Ireland this season and he clambered over the final fence on his way to a heavy defeat behind several of today's rivals in a Grade 3 last time, so current prospects don't look so bright. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 2f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Leading novice chaser last season, unbeaten in three completed starts; beat Stellar Story by 4l in the Brown Advisory but fell at the fifth at the Punchestown festival; never sighted in the John Durkan on return and soundly beaten in the Savills (ahead of Stellar Story but behind Grangeclare West); pulled up in the Irish Gold Cup last time; top-weight looks up against it. |

2nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 100y |

A leading novice chaser last season when unbeaten in three completed starts; took advantage of Ballyburn's failure to beat Stellar Story in the Brown Advisory at Cheltenham; fell at the fifth in a 3m1f Grade 1 event won by Champ Kiely at the Punchestown festival; never involved in the John Durkan on reappearance; soundly beaten in the Savills. |

11st 0lb |
0-6 since winning on chase debut last February; below par at Fairyhouse in November last time but the yielding to soft ground provides an excuse; good runs at Roscommon (2m, good to yielding) and Ascot (2m1f, good) previously in the autumn and he goes well fresh; has an each-way shout. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 172y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Already a better chaser than hurdler and it was a commendable effort at the weights when runner-up in a Grade 3 novice at Roscommon a month ago (2m, good to yielding); has scope for further progress and in-form Irish stable always respected on British forays. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 5lb |
Gained third hurdles victory when landing handicap off 100 at Down Royal in March; good effort off same mark over fences when 3.5l second to Butty O Brien at Wexford 35 days ago; needs improvement back in a beginners', but in good form. |
14/1 |

2nd 1 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
12st 0lb |
Was gaining her third career hurdles win when returning to form at Down Royal last month, taking advantage of reduced mark and drop in grade over 2m5f (Rajjnatin third); 0-5 chasing, though was going okay when brought down three from home in 2m5f Fairyhouse handicap; 3lb lower here so respected. |

17th Mar 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 86y |

Going okay when brought down on her penultimate start in a Fairyhouse handicap chase but didn't build on that back over hurdles here latest; moving back up in trip a plus and down in grade so not fully discounted. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Won three of first five races over fences, including a Grade 3 novice at Punchestown (2m2f, good to yielding) in October, but has made mistakes and run poorly at Cheltenham and Newbury since; perhaps he'll be revived by a break and cheekpieces, but he has plenty to find on the figures. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 199y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Won two in a row this summer when back over fences (2m2f/2m1f, good) and landed a Grade 3 novice at Punchestown (2m2f, good to yielding) last week; seems versatile ground-wise and he's a key player today. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 75y |

2-4 over fences; sent back over hurdles to run in two Grade 1 races last season after a surprise defeat inflicted by stablemate Down Memory Lane at Navan; beat the well-fancied My Great Mate at Galway and followed up at odds-on Ballinrobe; failed to concede weight to the useful Westport Cove at Tipperary; faces nothing of that calibre now. |

Grade 1 novice hurdle winner over 2m in Ireland and sold for 740,000euros at the Caldwell dispersal sale; record of 2-4 over fences for new connections features an excellent front-running performance in the novice handicap at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago, galloping on strongly and leaving the impression he'll be as effective upped further in distance; respected with further progress plausible. |

Bought for £180,000 after finishing second in a point behind Encanto Bruno who made it 2-2 in bumpers when impressing at Cheltenham in October; awarded a Punchestown bumper (yielding) in the stewards' room after going down by a head to Lecky Watson and there's unlikely to be much between them here; Jamie Codd rode then but not now. |

Looked useful when strolling home on soft ground at Naas and then ran fairly well in a Listed event at Fairyhouse; all that was during the first half of 2021 so she's been a good while on the sidelines; probably best watched. |
