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. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 27y |
11st 10lb |
Rated 132; has caught the eye in some valuable handicap chases but consistency is not his strong suit and he has unseated, pulled up and been beaten 28l on his last three starts; capable of running well but comes with risks attached. |
12/1 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 180y |
11st 5lb |
Won on chase debut in a Wexford beginners' in 2023 (2m4f, yielding); best run in recent times was a 4.5l second at the Punchestown festival off his current mark (2m4f, yielding); he has been poor in three runs following that and Kennedy prefers Mars Harper. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Pulled up in the Ulster National (3m4f, soft) in March but he was runner-up in two chase handicaps at Musselburgh (2m4f/2m7f) before that; now returns to hurdling but he's 3-8 in this sphere and is on a dangerous mark on this drop back in trip and grade; one to keep an eye on. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 4f 120y |
10st 12lb |
Mixed form in 2025; ran his best race for a long time when going close at Musselburgh on New Year's Day (2m4f, good to soft); again finished second over 2m7f at that venue last time; main positive is his good record at this venue, two wins (bumper and maiden hurdle) and a second from four visits. |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Mixed form in 2025 but ran his best race for a long time when going close here (2m4f, good to soft) under Dylan Kidd on New Year's Day; kept on strongly last time and he's run well on soft ground in the past; could be a player now back up in trip if backing up that latest performance. |

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. |

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. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
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. |

Without a win since May 2023 but has run well in all four starts this year; beaten just 2l by Stone Forest on latest and 5lb better off with that rival now; could avenge that defeat on this easier surface. |
