2nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Performed well in good hunter chases either side of taking a notable scalp in an open point win in February, and was still going okay before falling at third-last fence at last month's Cheltenham Festival; may not be ideally suited by today's faster ground but still commands respect in these much calmer waters. |

Beat the useful Famous Clermont (former Aintree Foxhunters' winner) in a point last month but his hunter chase defeats at Taunton (behind Angels Breath) and Haydock don't bode well ahead of this tougher examination. |

10st 12lb |
Best days are presumably behind him at the age of 12 but he won a point-to-point in April and was competitive in a recent Wexford handicap; stayed on for second in a 2m4f contest with less depth than this event. |

It's been two years since his last success under rules but he looked on good terms with himself when winning his latest point and was only beaten 2l in this 12 months ago off 5lb higher; not ruled out. |

Won big pot over hurdles at last year's Galway festival and made winning start over fences at same track; not competitive in good company next few chase starts but creditable third in Wexford handicap in July and not done with when departing two out at Killarney; trip fine but would prefer better grouund. |

Won a chase at Limerick last year but his form, and jumping, disimproved as the year went on; long time since he's shown any worthwhile hurdles form and off eight months. |

22nd Oct 2023 Heavy 2m 3f 0y |
11st 11lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner is lightly raced for his age; off the mark over fences here in March; held when completing in handicaps and that looked likely to be the case again when falling three out at Killarney, but handles heavy and you'd be slow to rule him out. |

Bounced back to form when runner-up at Wexford in March but struggled twice since; not easy to predict and probably needs a career best chase effort to land this off joint-topweight. |

11th Jun 2023 Good 2m 5f 0y |
11st 13lb |
10-time winner, just one over fences and has been hit and miss in this sphere; decent second in a handicap chase at Wexford followed by a sub-standard effort in a 3m handicap at the festival here; best horse in the race and has a chance but just that bit vulnerable these days. |

Best form over 2m5f at Leopardstown where he won at the 2022 Dublin Racing Festival and was a creditable third behind Brideswell Lad two months ago; ran out of steam in the closing stages of the La Touche at Punchestown ten days ago and was pulled up. |

Only chase success came in a 2m4f beginners' event at Wexford last July but this represents a welcome drop in class from competitive handicaps at the Cheltenham and Punchestown festivals; seemed to stay the 3m okay last time. |

Only chase success came in a 2m4f beginners' event at Wexford last July; fair second in a small-field handicap at Cheltenham last October; badly hampered at the first in the Magners Plate, so should not be judged too harshly on that. |
