11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Second to Lecky Watson in the 3m Grade 1 novice at Cheltenham last March; while comfortably dismissed in the closing stages of his three starts this winter, the first two of those were Grade 1 events and giving 8lb to Grangeclare West and Gerri Colombe at Fairyhouse (blinkers replaced cheekpieces) on latest outing makes that result look a whole lot better; above all, perhaps, while unraced beyond 3m2f, he has strongly suggested on plenty of occasions that he has serious stamina reserves; each-way appeal. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 2f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Won Grade 2 novice chase at Punchestown (3m, soft) last season and 4l second to Lecky Watson in the Brown Advisory at Cheltenham; made little impression in the Betfair Chase at Haydock on return and down the field in the Savills; a winner of the 2024 Albert Bartlett on heavy, he should relish the ground but race conditions don't favour him; tongue tie and blinkers go on for the first time. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 120y |

Dual hurdle winner has been below form in that sphere on recent starts; needs to get back to his best on belated chasing debut. |

28th May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 1f 0y |

Two hurdle wins include 2m5f rated hurdle at Fairyhouse last season (good); safely held in handicaps of late (well-backed favourite at Killarney last time when hampered) but don't rule out. |

17th Aug 2023 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 5lb |
Short-price favourite when coming unstuck in a pair of bumpers and a maiden hurdle on first three starts, but ran well in defeat, not the case when poor in two starts hurdling in the interim; switches to chasing with a fair few questions to answer, but must show a fair bit at home and far too early to overlook. |

14th Jul 2023 Good 2m 0f 190y |

Alarmingly weak in market at Wexford lately and ran accordingly; hard to fancy despite respectable runs previously (always odds-on); at least he drops in trip but consistently weak finisher. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 150y |
10st 9lb |
0-28 under rules and 0-8 in chases but has run well in defeat on occasion in this sphere; decent fourth at Leopardstown (21.5f, yielding) in March; 8l second at Down Royal (3m2f, good) in April; modest fifth at Perth latest; needs to find more to get his head in front. |

27-race maiden; last two efforts were respectable, including when runner-up at Down Royal (3m2f, good; beaten 8l) over a month ago; others make more appeal for win purposes. |

Entitled to come on for his recent run at Gowran but so too is Ballybawn Belter who was ahead of him that day; also has others to worry about. |

4th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Won a 2m5f beginners' event at Cork last December; produced another solid effort in a rated novice chase at Fairyhouse; has plenty to find with Prince Palace on running at Navan in March; lacks a recent outing. |

11st 8lb |
Won a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle from the front last month (2m4f, soft) but can race keenly and he dropped out to be sixth on his handicap debut at Cork (2m); lightly raced still and could yet have an improved run in him. |

Can race keenly but still won a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle from the front last time over 2m4f; has the pace to cope with the drop back to this trip; raised 7lb but looks a big player on handicap debut. |

Not the easiest to predict but he bounded clear over nearly 3m at Downpatrick 22 days ago to earn this 7lb higher mark; good ground is the key to him. |

Dual hurdle winner has run well in defeat here and was running well on second chase start at Tipperary last year when making a bad mistake at the last; not easy to fancy on last two runs. |

18th Apr 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 5y |

Won twice over hurdles in 2024, showing useful form; however, has been pulled-up over fences in both runs since but is likely to do better back to this sphere . |

Maiden hurdle winner last year but has been disappointing since; fell on first two chase outings and beaten out of sight over C&D last month; should find handicap company easier now but has plenty to prove. |

No wins in 14 under rules and he was 0-3 in points; placed here earlier in the year but for current yard he's been pulled up over hurdles and finished last on the Flat. |
