14th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Two-time winner over hurdles with his last win coming over C&D in April off 98 (16.5f, yielding); has been running consistently since then without winning; 6.75l sixth of 10 at Wexford last time (2m1f, good to yielding); each-way chance but 2lb wrong. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 180y |

Wide margin winner at Tramore in April and several good runs in defeat subsequently; behind several of today's rivals in those defeats; consistent sort should be thereabouts but may find one or two too good. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Second-favourite when last of eight over 7f Gowran on only start at two; finished in mid-field in 1m2f Curragh last month on seasonal debut; soundly beaten in fourth at Gowran last time; hard to assess but not one to rule out over this trip on handicap debut. |

Record of 0-20 on the Flat but has shown flashes of potential, including when runner-up at Gowran (7f, yielding) from 2lb higher in April and third at Tipperary (1m1f, soft) in May; needed the run at Punchestown last month and might figure. |

4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
10-32 on the AW and as tough as old boots, going down by less than a length in his last three outings including when beaten a short head over C&D in March; likely to be bang there once again. |

2nd 6 (7) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |

C&D record is currently three wins and two seconds from five starts; most of his career wins have come in the winter but he continues in good form and has strong claims. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

All of his ten wins have been on AW and he had a near-miss over 1m3f at Kempton last Wednesday; on same mark here and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |

Bidding for a hat-trick after wins over the extended 1m2f (beating today's rival Daonethatgotaway) and this trip, accounting for Voice Of Reason, with Benavente back in fourth; capable of making his presence felt despite 12lb aggregate rise. |

Won twice over hurdles, including from a mark of 77 at Plumpton (2m4f, good) last September; low-key in points since joining Tom Fife, failing to beat a single rival at Hornby Castle and Witton Castle; most unlikely candidate. |
