24th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 7f 180y |
10st 12lb |
Three Flat wins this year, the latest over 1m5f at Ballinrobe in July; jumping was untidy at times on return to chasing at Galway; down the field in the Cheltenham Festival novice handicap in which Anyway finished second; plenty to prove. |

Dual-purpose performer is 8-28 in all codes, two of his wins coming over fences in novice chases; has been plying his trade on the Flat recently with good success, including two wins; fell at Leopardstown and tailed off at Cheltenham in his last two chase starts so he has something to prove now returned to this discipline. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 110y |
10st 12lb |
Rated 9lb higher over fences but has so far failed to exploit his lower hurdles mark this season; went very close to doing so at Leopardstown (20.5f, gd-yld) in December and Navan (2m4f, sft-hvy) in January but below that level at Naas on latest; could rebound. |

Dual-winning chaser has been attempting to take advantage of his lower hurdles mark this season; beaten just a nose by The Nagger Reidy at Leopardstown in December (2m5f, good to yielding); 1l behind Zanoosh last time at Navan (2m4f, soft to heavy) and that rival bolted up in Listed company next time; creeping up the weights for not winning all the same. |

Smart chaser went very close to taking advantage of lower hurdles mark when beaten a nose by The Nagger Reidy at Leopardstown last time (2m4f, good to yielding) in a 23-runner field; had been out of form prior to that run, but if he is back to his best a 4lb higher mark may not stop him. |
