Five-time C&D winner, the latest coming in September 2023 off 75; thrown in here on that form but he has lost his way this year; is 5lb wrong here and hard to fancy on recent showings. |

Six-time AW winner on a good mark and was close up behind Clonmacash on his last visit here, since when he's finished ninth at Naas; like others in here, this place is more his scene. |

Six-time AW winner is 3-33 on turf; hasn't won on grass since a 6f success at Cork (good) in June 2023; went close at Dundalk on latest (6f) and has gone well over this C&D before; place shout. |

All four of his wins have been on testing ground, the most recent at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) last August; has the headgear/tongue-tie left off on his first start since October and is best watched on ground that will probably be quicker than ideal. |

Won a Chester handicap on heavy ground in September 2024 but mainly below form since (finished last of seven over C&D last week); well handicapped but has plenty to prove. |

23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Some narrow defeats this term before convincing Navan win over this trip in August; raced on wrong side when sent off favourite there next time; below best at the Curragh (5f) latest but step back up in trip should be a help; goes on any ground. |

3-39 overall, last winning in August 2024; close C&D third last May on sole start here; previous campaigns suggest he's best watched first time out. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Losing run is mounting up but he's well treated on old form and was only beaten 2l at Ayr (1m, soft) on Tuesday; hard to rule out another good run but this is a quick turnaround and that latest form was in a Class 5. |
