Beaten favourite on both starts, in Sligo bumper (reportedly made respiratory noise) and in 2m4f Roscommon maiden hurdle early this month readily outpaced from the last; longer trip here could suit. |

11st 11lb |
Two wins in 2023 for Gordon Elliott on soft and heavy ground; no joy since but step in the right direction in a handicap chase here on latest (19.5f, good); needs to back that up now back over hurdles. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott in 2023; out of form for former yard but there were positives to take from fourth of 12 at Tramore in April (2m6f, yielding); didn't back that up back over hurdles at Kilbeggan; a bit hard to trust now. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 50y |

Two-time hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott in 2023; out of form for former yard, but there were definite signs of life pn stable debut when fourth of 12 over fences at Tramore, making a bad mistake at the fifth; that is something to build on back over timber now. |

0-14 under rules but 6-9 in points; second in two handicap hurdles over about 2m6f at Exeter this year, which saw him start 11-10 favourite for five-runner race over C&D (good) 13 days ago but he clipped heels and unseated in the early stages; that was the race won by Gasmani; should give him a lot more to think about this time, barring mishaps. |

Remains winless under rules but he was a multiple points winner after leaving Paul Nolan in Ireland and has started well for his new yard, a strong-travelling second of 11 in 2m6f handicap hurdle at Exeter 23 days ago; can go one better here. |
