Only the one career win to his credit but tends to run well in good handicaps; could get into the money. |

19th Feb 2023 Yielding To Soft 3m 4f 40y |
10st 0lb |
Sole win came in a Thurles maiden hurdle three years ago; consistent and frustrating in more or less equal measure since; only one pound out of the handicap; entitled to improve from his recent Naas run (his first after a break); overall record suggests he will find a few too good. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 136y |
10st 13lb |
Won a couple of Fairyhouse chases last year (2m5f/3m) and handles goodish ground; last month's hurdling fourth probably a prep for this; can race close to the pace. |

18th Apr 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 5y |
12st 0lb |
Three wins apiece over hurdles and fences; was a 7l runner-up at Navan in a 2m4f handicap hurdle in November but pulled-up at Leopardstown next time; a squeak if back to form. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Gained his third chase win in a Fairyhouse handicap (24.5f, yielding) three weeks ago; raised 5lb for that 1.5l victory so he'll need a career best to follow up off his new mark. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Had lost his way but very much rejuvenated in his last four races and was closing on the winner, whom he beat the time before, over 2m4f at Haydock last time (good); edging up the weights but firmly in the reckoning. |
100/30 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Won at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) on Boxing Day before good second there (2m3f, soft) in January, and he returned to winning ways at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) four weeks ago when clear with Outlaw Tom; this rejuvenated 10yo still has mileage in his mark and is firmly in calculations. |

1st 9 |
6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Only 2-24 over fences but good to see him follow his Wetherby win on Boxing Day (2m3f, soft) with a similar performance in defeat the following month; does have his share of off days but couldn't rule him out. |

Lost form for Noel Meade but signs of life on first two starts in handicap hurdles for Ian Donoghue; brought down on return to chasing at Wexford and remains on what appears a high enough mark. |

7th Aug 2024 Good 3m 1f 70y |

Lost form for Noel Meade but signs of life on first two starts in handicap hurdles for Ian Donoghue; reverts to chasing and is on a fair mark on some of his old form; handles most ground and not discounted. |

6th Jul 2024 Good 3m 0f 116y |

Hurdle and chase winner was regressive over fences last year for former yard but showed some spark on return back over hurdles when third at Punchestown at 66/1; a chance with improvement likely from that. |

Won twice over hurdles (soft/heavy) when trained by Henry de Bromhead some years back but hasn't won for over three years; beaten out of sight over fences at Punchestown in June and return to hurdling needs to spark a revival. |

Three wins over hurdles at Ballinrobe in 2021; won over 2m4f here in March on heavy and placed over 3m1f (good) at Limerick last time; one of hurdles wins was over 3m1f as well so this trip looks too sharp. |
