28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
11st 9lb |
Dual-purpose; has won three of his last four, two over hurdles and on the Flat at Gowran on latest; raised 11lb for his latest win over timber at Naas (18.5f, heavy) in January; this is harder but he did that easily and he is ground versatile; player. |

Dual-purpose winner scored over hurdles at Naas when last seen; won twice on the Flat over 1m2f in 2023; lost his form in this sphere last year but jockey booking takes the eye and considered. |

Two wins on the Flat; caught the eye of the stewards when fifth on his handicap debut at Gowran in October; won narrowly at Limerick before being raised in class off his revised mark at Leopardstown; satisfactory fourth then implies he could be involved here. |

Fair middle-distance Flat maiden in Ireland; comfortable win over C&D (good to soft) on hurdle/stable debut but flopped at Catterick next time and again below form back here (behind two of these) on latest start; carries his head awkwardly; questions to answer. |

Has won both races since the tongue-tie joined cheekpieces, latterly making all for a narrow success over C&D three weeks ago (good); a 5lb rise isn't the end of the world but dominating this bigger field with likely pressure up front could be challenging. |
