11st 11lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo who is lightly raced; his Irish hurdles win was at 2m3f on heavy; chase win at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) in December on stable debut and ran respectably here (2m1f, soft) next time, but his step back up to 2m4f at Carlisle on latest start was disappointing. |

Reserve; far better known as a smart hurdler, runner-up at this meeting in 2023 and 2024, with latter race the 3m Grade 1; below form over jumps over the last year, however, and he looks poorly handicapped (particularly from 4lb wrong) judged on his results over fences. |

Third in the 2m4f Martin Pipe at this meeting in 2023; creditable fifth in last year's Grade 1 Stayers' here but he's not really sparked since, including over fences; 6lb lower now than his peak British mark; equipped with cheekpieces on latest outing (stiff task) and today. |

Interfered with early when tailed off on the Flat last time; didn't run too badly in the Galway Plate the time before when mistakes didn't help, but this smart hurdler has yet to reach the same heights over fences; respected but others appeal more. |

Promising enough debut run in Listowel bumper in 2021 but maiden hurdle form since October return has been modest, although was in process of running a better race until bad mistake three out ended his chances at Limerick; tame effort at Thurles raises questions but remains a potential improver on handicap debut. |
