21st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 7f 150y |
11st 9lb |
2m5f maiden hurdle winner ran well upped to 3m for his handicap chase debut here when third (3m, soft to heavy); built on that to comfortably score at Punchestown (2m7f, soft to heavy) and took advantage of his lower hurdles mark here last time, winning by 4l (2m4f, heavy); he's 10lb higher than his Punchestown win but is towards the top of the shortlist. |

Not bred for stamina tests but ran well upped to 3m here on handicap chase debut when a 9l third; comfortably won over fences at Punchestown last month (2m7f, soft to heavy) and now rated 126 in that discipline; 2m5f maiden winner over hurdles and ran respectably only handicap start last year; leading contender in modest contest. |

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. |
