12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
No ground worries; best winning day in the 2024 Grand National Trial at Haydock and he's been placed in last two editions of the Troytown in November; those were over fences but he has a much lower hurdles mark and was a close second to Duke Silver in the Leopardstown qualifier; good chance he'll be outspeeded in this but dangerous if he turns for home in contention. |

22nd Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Won the 2024 Grand National Trial at Haydock; fine effort in third behind Stuzzikini in the 2024 Troytown and went one place better behind Answer To Kayf in this season's edition; 143-rated chaser could finish only second from a mark of 118 in a handicap hurdle at Christmas; however, the run kept him ticking over, and he could be a big player. |

The 2024 Grand National Trial winner at Haydock; fine effort in third behind Stuzzikini in the Troytown at Navan last November; lost form later in the campaign; plenty to find with Weveallebeencaught on Kim Muir running. |

Placed many times over hurdles and was a fine 3rd on chasing debut at Galway (2m2f) after a break; this longer trip will suit better and should go close. |

Usually thereabouts in maiden hurdles, posting an RPR of 125 when second at Cork on his penultimate run (3m, yielding to soft); this trip looks on the tight side for chase debut but his ability is respected. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Ex Henry de Bromhead; unseated rider back under rules at Hexham on penultimate start but bounced back to justify favouritism at Ludlow (3m, good; 7l winner) the following week; top rated and tough to beat if in similar form. |
4/5 |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |

Fairly useful chase form for Henry de Bromhead as recently as winter 2024-25; unseated on hunter chase debut at Hexham last Monday but that was after two solid efforts in points and he should have a future in this sphere; respected. |

Ran with credit on chase debut at Gowran and built on that when third in a beginners' at Clonmel last month; form is working out with the second and fifth both winning subsequently; should go well back up in trip. |

Placed in a couple of maiden hurdles for John Ryan; off six months but made a good start for his current trainer when headed late in a 2m5f Tramore maiden hurdle last month; step up in trip not an issue and likely to come on for that; major claims here. |

Smart bumper form in 2019, highlighted by Punchestown win and second in a Listed event at Navan; stands out in this company on his best form, namely a second placing behind the subsequent Albert Bartlett winner Vanillier at Naas with the high-class Stattler third; major doubts raised by a history of bleeding, with three consecutive instances in 2021-22; showed nothing on return at 12s. |
