Competitively campaigned in the past year, often in small-field conditions race; third in the Kerry National and filled the same position in a Grade 2 at Down Royal; out of his depth in a 2m Grade 3 event at Naas before an excellent display in finishing second in the Troytown Chase. |

11st 6lb |
Took a step back in the right direction when runner-up in four-runner race at Wexford in May, although was beaten 11l; needs either a career best or a couple of these to underperform to be in the mix; first-time cheekpieces could help. |

28th May 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
2-12 over hurdles, also a bumper and chase winner; best hurdles form represented by his defeat of the smart Run For Oscar over 3m at Down Royal last August; third on handicap debut at Clonmel before a winter break; big price when down the field in a Punchestown festival handicap; should be sharper now. |

Failed to prosper in top staying handicaps after winning the 2024 Troytown for Gordon Elliott; should show the benefit of a point-to-point run at Oldtown in February. |

12st 3lb |
Has a particular fondness for Killarney and won for the fifth time there three weeks ago, where he beat What Path by 1.5l over a slightly shorter trip; was just doing enough, so headgear back on; likes good ground. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 0y |

Another in here with plenty of back-class; visored when disappointing at the Cheltenham Festival but that aid was missing when 15l behind Journey With Me at Cork, where 2m4f was on the sharp side; better expected here. |

6th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Useful track performer at best with 3-4 record in points since last October; capable of better than he showed when fourth in a hunter chase run at Thurles in January; subsequently beat record-breaking pointer Winged Leader at Nenagh, with Whacker Clan a distant third; sights lowered after Cheltenham Festival bid. |

Boasts a fair record over hurdles, 2-12, placed three times; struggling to make an impact over fences before unplaced hurdles run on latest; stable's two other runners are more appealing. |
