8th Oct 2024 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 10lb |
Rated 132; well-beaten on stable debut on latest behind Donacheady Gale at Listowel (2m6f, soft to heavy) but was giving that rival 19lb; will be getting 3lb from him today thanks to his jockey's claim and the return to better ground is in his favour; fine run here back in August and he should go well. |

Stable debutant; ex-Gigginstown gelding shaped well on his last two starts for Noel Meade; third in the Blazers at Galway on latest, beaten 11l off 133 (behind Moonovercloon); same mark here and has place claims again. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 12y |
11st 4lb |
Has become hard to predict but travelled a bit better than he often does when fifth in a first-time visor at Ballinrobe; cheekpieces back on now and trip looks too sharp. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |
10st 2lb |
First reserve; won this last year off 9lb higher and then went close at Uttoxeter in a handicap chase the following month but has completely lost form since; yard amongst winners recently but he's hard to fancy on recent showings; new headgear combo needs to spark. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 50y |
10st 12lb |
Four-time hurdles winner had been expected (9-2) to leave recent poor form behind upong encountering better ground at Down Royal over fences 11 days ago but the revival never arrived; questions to answer now. |

Sligo maiden winner at this trip and returned from spell chasing when well held over hurdles at Tramore recently; tongue-tie now tried but of limited appeal. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 125y |

Tough task over hurdles last time and wasn't pulling up any trees in handicap chases before that; sights are now lowered considerably but all his three wins have come in the mud. |

28th May 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y |

Moderate form in handicaps over fences last season; 35lb inferior to Ash Three Meadow on current chase ratings; very tough task against his stablemate in the circumstances. |

14th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 0y |
11st 11lb |
Has failed to fire over fences or hurdles this season; latest Cork fifth a remote one; trip and ground fine but needs to rediscover best; maybe the new tongue tie can help. |

19th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 45y |
11st 5lb |
No sign of his best form since two wins and a solid fourth in chases at Navan last season; tailed off when sent back over hurdles at Fairyhouse in January. |
12/1 |

14th Jan 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Four-time winner under rules split evenly between hurdles and fences; latest win came in a Navan handicap chase off 116 in February (3m, soft to heavy); pulled up and beaten 29 l in two chasing runs this season, so a bit to prove now in first-time cheekpieces. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Came from well off the pace to land his third win over fences in a veterans' handicap at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) in March off 5lb lower; runner-up in a similar contest at Haydock (2m4f, good) the following month but was pulled up after making several jumping errors at Aintree last time; may be a shade high in the weights at present. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Had lost his way but very much rejuvenated in his last four races and was closing on the winner, whom he beat the time before, over 2m4f at Haydock last time (good); edging up the weights but firmly in the reckoning. |
100/30 |

2nd 16 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Won at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) on Boxing Day before good second there (2m3f, soft) in January, and he returned to winning ways at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) four weeks ago when clear with Outlaw Tom; this rejuvenated 10yo still has mileage in his mark and is firmly in calculations. |
