Listed hurdle winner last December for Willie Mullins; departed that yard for £11,000 and no form as yet for current stable (2m7f hurdle/3m5f chase); no real significance in another headgear switch. |

12st 3lb |
Has a particular fondness for Killarney and won for the fifth time there three weeks ago, where he beat What Path by 1.5l over a slightly shorter trip; was just doing enough, so headgear back on; likes good ground. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Another in here with plenty of back-class; visored when disappointing at the Cheltenham Festival but that aid was missing when 15l behind Journey With Me at Cork, where 2m4f was on the sharp side; better expected here. |

6th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Useful track performer at best with 3-4 record in points since last October; capable of better than he showed when fourth in a hunter chase run at Thurles in January; subsequently beat record-breaking pointer Winged Leader at Nenagh, with Whacker Clan a distant third; sights lowered after Cheltenham Festival bid. |

Two hurdle wins include a success here; tailed off in a Fairyhouse beginners' chase returning from almost a year off and pulled up over hurdles at the same venue last time; needs to return to form. |

Only 1-31 overall and 0-15 as a hurdler; however, it's still early days with Gordon Elliott and he hit the frame here four weeks ago off this mark, albeit finishing some 13l off the winner; needs to find extra from somewhere. |

2nd May 2023 Yielding 2m 0f 139y |

Fair sort on the Flat is 0-14 hurdling although went close off this sort of mark on a few occasions last summer on this sort of ground; two most recent efforts well below his best so needs to bounce back but quite possible given the drying ground. |

A couple of encouraging efforts since returning from a long absence, notably when fifth of 24 at Cork (2m4f, soft to heavy); another positive effort when a 7.75l fifth at Limerick latest (2m, soft to heavy); should give a good account once again. |
