22nd Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 110y |
11st 5lb |
Useful money-spinner, only three wins from 23 starts but placed 13 times, notably when beaten a short head in last season's Cork National; not at his best in the Porterstown but enjoys heavy ground and is leniently treated back over hurdles. |

Won maiden hurdle at Ffos Las in April 2021; inconsistent since switching from Britain; failed to build on a promising second at Limerick when only sixth back at that venue latest; fair mark if he's on a going day. |

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

Five-time hurdles winner (including here) is 1-6 in chases, with that win also coming over this C&D (2m6f, gd-yld); clearly likes it here but lacks a run and remains 4lb above her last chase win. |

Placed form this time last year was on softer ground and recent runs haven't been encouraging; interestingly, was well backed into favourite when well beaten at Fairyhouse on penultimate start so keep a close eye on the betting. |

Won 2m4f handicap hurdle here in August under today's regular rider and some decent placings afterwards; unseated on chase debut last year when in front three from home at Downpatrick but didn't feature subsequently on softer ground at Ballinrobe; unexposed on return to fences and better ground could suit. |
