Gained a first win when stepped back up in trip at Punchestown last month; handles softer ground and the 7lb rise potentially negated by promising rider's 7lb claim; ought to go well. |

17th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 40y |
11st 12lb |
Most recent of three hurdle wins was in May 2024; off since later that year; may need this against that background. |

2nd Sep 2024 Soft To Heavy 1m 4f 17y |
10st 1lb |
Dual-purpose; 1-7 on the Flat; won over hurdles at Ballinrobe in May; below par on last Flat run at Fairyhouse; his flat win came off 64 at Down Royal (1m5f, good) and is 15lb higher here; handles testing ground but may need some respite from the handicapper. |

Consistency rewarded with a defeat of 15 rivals over 2m at Ballinrobe in May but after looking threatening to a point he faded into a remote fourth at Sligo (2m1f, good to yielding); remains on the same career-high mark. |

Won off 2lb lower on testing ground at Gowran (2m) in October 2023; only seen twice in the last two years and not many positives to take from his August C&D run after 465-day absence; others appeal more. |

Second hurdle success when seeing off 14 rivals at Gowran Park (2m, soft/heavy; other win on good) in September; good second at Wexford in November and given a break after a lesser run at Down Royal over Christmas; placed off a similar mark in Britain in summer 2022; Brian Hughes booked for this Irish raider. |

Solid recent form in maidens has been over longer distances, third over 2m6f at Killarney three weeks ago; seems to be ground versatile but 2m not guaranteed to bring out the best in her judged on overall form. |

Given a very positive ride by Carl Millar when winning on first start for new yard at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) in June; given too much to do when respectable fourth at that venue last time from 6lb higher; he has won around here in the past and Millar is back aboard now; big player. |
