2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
10st 5lb |
Made winning return in 2m5f Cork handicap in November (yielding) and given winter off until not looking to stay 3m6f in National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham in March; interesting contender back in trip here with ground to suit. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after scoring over an extended 2m6f at Limerick (good) in May and moving nearly 7l clear on the run-in over 2m5f at Cork (yielding) in November; the latter is easily his best form but his chase career began with a strong finish over an extended 3m1f last March, which sparks interest for this test. |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 160y |

Winner of maiden hurdle at Navan (2m4f, heavy); some creditable handicap efforts in that sphere; 120-rated hurdler was an eyecatching second on chase debut at Wexford (25.5f, good to yielding) on latest; considered. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 140y |

Course winner at 15.5f; seems best on heavy ground and scored twice in those conditions earlier this year, over hurdles at Clonmel (16.5f) and over fences at Gowran (19.5f); capable off this mark and rain would boost his claims. |

Went close in handicap hurdles at this venue in March and May; place chance on that basis; should be better for the experience of his first chase start at Tramore two weeks ago. |

9th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 80y |

Pulled up on point debut before a decent 6l fourth at Bartlemy; a couple of decent runs over hurdles, particularly when beaten a head at Clonmel in May off 98 (2m3f, good); recent runs leave a bit to be desired, but not ruled out on chasing debut. |
