11st 9lb |
Mostly hurdling this year and has faced some stiff competition but acquitted himself well at times; sole win over fences came in 2020 and pulled-up last chase start in January. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Won this in 2023 but hasn't looked the force of old this year and arrives on the back of a low-key effort. |

11st 12lb |
Has plenty of back-class and didn't run at all badly in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham; however, it was off level weights when just ahead of My Gaffer last time and will need to run better to win this, even with Finn Brickley taking off 7lb. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 180y |
11st 10lb |
Six-time chase winner but no success since a Grade 2 win at Clonmel in November 2024; ran a cracker in this last year to finish a 0.75l second behind Found A Fifty; below par in both runs this season and needs to leave those tame efforts behind. |

28th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 90y |
11st 8lb |
Free-going front runner; 6-16 over fences; ran right up to his best at Fairyhouse last April (2m4f, soft to heavy), losing out by only 3/4l to Found A Fifty despite a costly error two out; made several mistakes when pulled up in the Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon on seasonal debut; flopped in the Boyne Hurdle in 2023 on his only Navan appearance. |

21st Apr 2025 Soft To Heavy 2m 3f 170y |
11st 10lb |
Front runner; 6-14 over fences; has alternated between hurdling and chasing since being pulled up in this race last season, winning over timber at Cork and Auteuil and adding a Clonmel Grade 2 Chase (2m5f, good) in November; has often raced too keenly, including when beaten at odds-on by a stablemate at Gowran in February. |

Dual hurdle winner ran well enough over fences at Limerick over Christmas; burst a blood vessel when pulled-up on h'cap chase debut last time and has to rebound. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 170y |
11st 0lb |
Dual hurdles winner (including here on heavy); three recent runs in beginners chases haven't offered much but does enter handicaps now off 20lb lower than hurdles mark; yard in form and watch market. |

13th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
10st 13lb
|
First reserve; veteran is a four-time winner; consistent efforts over hurdles at Limerick and Tramore; 3m1f at Cork last time likely stretched him and this trip may do so again. |

10th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 80y |
10st 13lb |
Veteran is a four-time winner; last win came here over 2m (yld-sft) in November;has mixed hurdling and chasing to no avail since and never won beyond 2m4f; others preferred. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 110y |
11st 0lb |
Veteran won in fine style over hurdles at Cork (2m, yld-sft) in November; however, he has a strike rate of 1-30 in chases and his last three runs in this sphere have not been encouraging. |

21st Jul 2023 Yielding 2m 6f 180y |
10st 4lb |
Back to something like his best when third of nine behind Dartan 13 days ago but hard to see him reversing that form and he's not been the most consistent of late. |
8/1 |

9th Jul 2023 Good 3m 1f 88y |
11st 13lb |
Won a 2m4f Bellewstown maiden hurdle last August; hasn't matched that since and mixed form over fences lately; needs a return to best. |
