Comes here in good heart; placed twice over fences and didn't see out 3m on return to hurdling when third at Kilbeggan; this looks a more suitable trip. |

11st 5lb |
Useful money-spinner, only three wins from 23 starts but placed 13 times, notably when beaten a short head in last season's Cork National; not at his best in the Porterstown but enjoys heavy ground and is leniently treated back over hurdles. |

Still seeking a first win after 25 races; reverts from chasing; raced five times over hurdles, but others have better claims; new headgear combination. |

Maiden has run well in defeat at times; unlucky to unseat at Punchestown last time; needs a return to his best form. |

Unable to win a race in 23 starts; returned from over a year break when finishing in midfield in a Cork handicap hurdle last month (2m4f, good); ran to a similar level when beaten 18.5L 12 days later in a Limerick handicap chase; his best form has come on soft ground so others are preferred. |

2-18 over fences, 1-19 over hurdles; hard to win with, but not far off his best when second off his lower hurdles mark at this venue two weeks ago; could go well again. |

Winless since 2023 and he's been off the track since pulled up in 3m handicap in November; on a useful mark if resurgent after a break. |

Lost out only by a nose to Orange Diamond over C&D (good) in August but was not quite in same form when fifth behind same rival here last month and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon. |

22nd Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 1f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Beaten about 12l in a Curragh maiden on sole previous Flat run 12 months ago; won a modest Naas handicap hurdle when last seen in February; probably vulnerable in a race of this nature. |

30th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Shaped well in C&D handicap (soft-to-heavy) over Christmas and off the mark in Naas 4yo handicap last month, seemingly appreciating the better ground when picking up nicely from the last; improving filly now fitted with tongue tie for first time. |
9/2 |

1st 7 |
26th Feb 2023 Yielding 1m 7f 109y |

Has shown ability in maidens and was in front of By Your Side when fifth behind subsequent Grade 2 winner Comfort Zone at Navan; not a bad effort against older rivals when fourth at Limerick in her first handicap; third-place The Connector won his next start at Punchestown. |
