11st 12lb |
Useful chaser at his best, but hard to win with; record of 1-19 in chases is off-putting, placed seven times; tailed off in a strong handicap at Fairyhouse in January (2m1f, yielding); out of his depth along with Drumgill in a Grade 3 contest at Naas 13 days ago. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Won a Punchestown novice chase in December 2024; ran only twice last season; now set for a first hurdles start since jumping badly at Listowel in September 2023; had previously produced a career-best when winning a handicap at the Galway festival; hard to be confident about his prospects. |

11st 5lb |
Useful in 2m-2m6f novice hurdles last term, recording RPRs of 140 on three occasions; has not taken to chasing at all well this season, soundly beaten three times, and was sold from Gordon Elliott for 50,000euros in February; may be revived by a change of scenery and the return to hurdling, but he's something of a risky proposition in his first handicap. |

21st Jan 2023 Soft To Heavy 1m 7f 170y |
11st 9lb |
AQPS winner over an extended 1m3f on very soft ground in the French provinces in November 2021; justified favouritism hurdles debut in a Punchestown maiden that has worked out quite well; drops in class now after a tame effort in a Grade 1 Leopardstown event dominated by this three shorter-priced stablemates; may turn the tables on Path D'Oroux. |

Hurdles winner is 0-7 chasing, having failed to complete on three of those; still not a fluent jumper although penultimate Fairyhouse effort was a solid one; hard to be confident in. |
