18th Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 140y |
11st 7lb |
Smart 144-rated handicap chaser, won a Grade B contest over 3m1f at the 2023 Punchestown festival and a Listed at Leopardstown over an extended 2m5f in March; jumping let him down when fifth in a competitive Punchestown event; back to his best when winning at Killarney in May; 35lb lower over hurdles, tempting proposition. |

Now a three-time winner over fences; possibly a little fortunate to get away with a 4lb rise for his front-running success at Thurles at the beginning of the month; 5lb claimer controlled the race effectively then. |

Won three chases in a row in the opening months of 2023 before Tramore defeat; made an excellent return after 560-day absence when staying on strongly for second at Galway three weeks ago; extra of furlong should suit and can uphold form with third-placed Stuzzikini; sound each-way prospect. |

Ex-Irish 10yo who won a Kelso hunter chase (2m7f, soft) and a point for this stable in the early part of this year; kept on from poor position for second in another Kelso hunter chase (3m2f, good to soft) on latest outing in May but needs to prove he's worth his current handicap mark. |

Was running a big race when falling at Leopardstown over 3m4f in May but didn't see out the 3m2f at Down Royal next time; drop in trip might help but typically needs a run so the absence is a worry. |
