13th Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y |
11st 0lb |
Useful dual-purpose type; on a long losing sequence; good form in staying races on the Flat in Britain last season, second in the Queen Alexandra and in the John Smith's Silver Cup; had a run on the Flat before a respectable hurdles run at Down Royal in August, disappointing in Galway conditions event in which Buddy One was third. |

Classy on the Flat (rated 101) and this three time hurdles winner ran a fine race on his second start back from a long layoff when a 0.75l second to the 140 rated Reverend Hubert at Killarney when in receipt of 10lbs; a bit to find on the figures here with a rating of 131 but rider's claim helps; place chance. |

Won a beginners' at Tramore on chase debut on his penultimate start but it was a low-key run when sent off favourite for a handicap hurdle at Wexford last week; workable mark if he can bounce back (went close off mark of 100 last summer) and return to this sort of trip will probably help. |
