28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 170y |
9st 5lb |
Plundered a nice pot at Galway (2m1f, yielding) when last seen in July; got hit with a 10lb hike for that so this 9yo will need to produce a career best to follow up but that's not impossible given who trains him; respected. |

Dual-purpose; stayed on well over 14.5f on latest Flat start at Killarney off 79; is 2lb wrong at the weights here but talented claimer takes off 5lb; won a maiden hurdle on his sole previous start at this track; wide draw to contend with but he's unexposed in this sphere and he could run a big race. |

Second runner for yard; dual hurdle winner in 2023 scored on the Flat in 2024 and some good hurdle runs in defeat too; likely best watched on return from a long absence and chasing debut. |

The last of his two wins came in a handicap in 2020; outclassed in a beginners' chase last time and showed that he retains some ability when midfield over hurdles the time before; cheekpieces now tried. |

30th Nov 2023 Yielding 2m 2f 91y |

Gained the most recent of two hurdle wins in a handicap at Kilbeggan in 2020; ran only once the following year and missed all of 2022; retains some ability judged on a couple of Flat starts this year, but set a tough task here on chasing debut. |

Not seen over timber since March 2021 and no wins since 2020; missed all of 2022 and while he's shown he retains some ability on the level in a couple of recent Flat starts, he's probably best watched back over timber for now. |
