Grade 2-winning hurdler got off the mark over fences at the fourth time of asking when landing standard Cork beginners' (2m1f, yielding) 11 days ago, doing it from the front; won't be allowed to dictate things here but opening mark is fair and is another worthy of respect for the Mullins stable. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Long-absent 8yo showed plenty of ability when second (to Croke Park) in a Dromahane point-to-point and in bumpers in early 2023 when second in good Naas contest and beaten 4l in steadily-run Punchestown event (yielding); major player if able to reproduce that level of form here after more than three years off the track. |

28th Apr 2023 Yielding 2m 2f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Beaten 1l in a point on debut and encouraging Rules bow when runner-up at Naas last month; was in amongst some nice prospects at Naas and entitled to come on for that first run in a year. |

Second (third has won a Ffos Las bumper) in Dromahane 4yo maiden point-to-point for Matthew Flynn last April before realising GBP120,000 at Goffs Aintree Sales; interesting contender making Rules debut. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
11st 11lb |
Grade 3-placed hurdler nowhere near that level in four chase starts, okay effort in 2m4f Naas beginners'; absent since disappointing favourite on handicap debut over 2m at Tipperary last July, fading tamely from last after racing up with pace; trip more in his favour on comeback and still scope for improvement off 12lb lower chase mark. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 120y |
11st 8lb |
Grade 3-placed hurdler hasn't been near that level in three chase starts, beaten 28l in a near 3m novice here last time; needs to do better dropping into handicaps but possible he could. |

8th May 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Runner-up in Grade 3 over timber last season; tailed off behind Ile Atlantique on chase debut in December; slight improvement when fifth of 15 in Naas beginners' on latest but has a good bit to find with Western Fold on that effort. |

11st 1lb |
Useful staying novice chaser last season, notably looking home and hosed until worn down late by Jumping Jet in this race off 128 (good); out of form over fences so far this season, never competitive at Punchestown last time; return to better ground should suit. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 3f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Useful staying novice chaser last season; went close against Bushmans Pass in valuable Navan handicap and also second in Ulster National; jumping let him down on his first two starts of the winter before switching to hurdles for his last two hurdle starts; could go well for in-form trainer and talented 5lb claimer. |

11st 9lb |
Winner of a 2m5f Roscommon handicap hurdle in 2024 off 92; okay efforts in his opening two runs this season but recent runs are below that level; this is just his second chase start, with his only other seeing him tailed off at Clonmel in a 2024 handicap. |

4th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 180y |

A record of 1-11 over hurdles, with that win coming at Roscommon in September (2m5f, yielding) in first-time blinkers off 92; made a pleasing seasonal debut at Punchestown and a 6l sixth at Limerick was satisfactory (2m6f, soft to heavy); disappointed at Fairyhouse last time; in the mix if bouncing back. |
