18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
His defeat of the smart Jesse Evans at Sligo in October heightens interest and new headgear is tried after two lesser efforts, particularly the latest; he has become hard to predict but it's unwise to put a line through him. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Mark of 136 is tempting on the form of his 3.75l defeat of the 146 rated Jesse Evans at Sligo in October; strip fitter for remote fourth in Punchestown Grade 3 novice on latest; interesting with rider taking off a handy 5lb. |

10st 13lb |
Chase wins have been at Wexford and Sligo on decent ground, latter occasion when beating Jesse Evans 3.5l at levels in October when last seen, albeit steady pace possibly suited; has run well fresh and has his ground here, so one to consider. |

10st 5lb |
Three wins over hurdles, 1-15 over fences; second twice over fences on decent ground at Musselburgh in January, and third in a chase at Wexford last week; previously out of the money behind Ad Caelum in a handicap hurdle at this venue. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
10st 5lb |
Three wins over hurdles, 1-14 over fences; second twice over fences on decent ground at Musselburgh in January, over 2m7f on the latter occasion, and his hurdles run at Kilbeggan last time wasn't bad; most of his better runs have been right-handed, though. |

3-9 over hurdles; rediscovered form with fine chase efforts at Musselburgh in January but then pulled up in Ulster National and lifeless effort on return to this sphere at Kelso when beaten 28l; risky proposition. |

6th Oct 2024 Good 2m 1f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles for Peter Fahey; 0-9 in chases but promising effort at Listowel in a much stronger race than this last time out (17.5f, good) and in off the same mark here; big chance on that form and he has run well on testing ground before; claims. |
7/1 |

22nd Sep 2024 Good 2m 1f 150y |

Three-time winner for Peter Fahey but not a factor in two runs for his current stable and others look more likely. |

10st 6lb |
Stays a lot farther and needs good ground; some good runs in defeat around Cheltenham and when second to Perceval Legallois in 2024 Paddy Power at Leopardstown; second off much lower hurdles mark in November, but moderate form since; reckon this track will be plenty sharp for him. |
20/1 |

Rated 19lb higher over fences but lost his form in that sphere; has failed to exploit his lower hurdles mark on last two runs over timber and may need quicker ground than this. |

28th Aug 2023 Good 2m 1f 165y |

Decent on the Flat at up to 1m and won a Listed novice hurdle at Galway last year; starts off in handicap chases from a mark 6lb lower than his hurdles rating although the bare form of his two spins over fences earlier this month would suggest the handicapper could have been kinder. |
