11st 12lb |
Bumper and hurdles winner is 0-16 over fences; has run with much credit in defeat in valuable handicaps, notably when third at the 2025 Cheltenham Festival and second in the Porterstown Chase at Fairyhouse last November, both races over 3m6f; pulled up in three of his last four starts, so comes with plenty of risks attached now. |

Won a Sligo maiden hurdle last October; not disgraced when sixth in a 24-runner Fairyhouse handicap on New Year's Day; beaten 4l in a beginners' chase at Thurles in January; dropped in class after a stiff task at Navan in his first handicap chase; not ruled out. |

towards rear but in touch with leaders early, prominent on outer from 5th, disputing second after 3 out, went second after 2 out, weakened before last |

27th Oct 2023 Soft 3m 1f 90y |
11st 4lb |
Placed several times in 11 maiden hurdle starts; was unlucky not to have finished much closer when bumped in a Listowel 3m maiden last time; should run well. |

17th Sep 2023 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Placed in a couple of maiden hurdles for John Ryan; off six months but made a good start for his current trainer when headed late in a 2m5f Tramore maiden hurdle last month; step up in trip not an issue and likely to come on for that; major claims here. |

20th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Irish raider; 0-10 over fences and has same strike-rate over hurdles; not favoured by the weights when well-beaten last of three in recent Killarney beginners' chase and has better chance in this handicap but his record over the last year or so is not compelling. |

Vastly inferior hurdler to his two rivals and he's now 0-9 over fences; should be outclassed. |

8th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 6f 97y |
10st 2lb |
0-8 over hurdles and yet to trouble the judge; heavy defeats both starts in 2025 after a long layoff; hard to make a case for. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 61y |
10st 1lb |
Down the field over C&D last month on first run after a long absence; little merit in his form since a second placing in a Tipperary bumper in 2021; makes no appeal. |

Sparingly raced 10yo has shown very little in six starts over hurdles and has been off since October 2023; would be a surprise winner. |

Poor on last two runs, albeit in decent company; has to return to her earlier promise when she was placed in maiden company. |
