11st 10lb |
Gained third chase win off 5lb lower at Down Royal in November; some decent runs in defeat since including when a 12.5l fourth of 13 at Leopardstown on latest (28.5f, yld-sft); this trip more suitable; place shout but may need more help from the handicapper to get his head back in front. |

Added third chase win at Down Royal in November (3m, good to yielding); struggled off 8lb higher mark in following two runs; took the runner-up spot in a weak Cork contest in January after the leader unseated; weakened into a 12.5l fifth at Thurles last time (2m5f, yielding); tries this trip for the first time but probably not crying out for it. |

Some decent chase form last season; placed off 116 in Naas handicap and not beaten far by Intense Raffles in Fairyhouse beginners; his fall in last month's Ulster National (only 9-1) was his third in four starts, though, so has to sort out his jumping. |

Hurdle winner at 2m3f; rarely ventures beyond 2m1f now and has something to prove in trying to repeat a very good third in the Grand Annual here (2m, good to soft; off 1lb lower) last March, having run three moderate races since, but there has been late support for him. |

16th Jun 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 51y |

Was gaining fourth win over fences when coping with better ground over 2m4f at Punchestown eight days ago, recording a third win at the track in what was a messy race; not certain to back that up but 4lb rise gives him every chance (2lb out of handicap but rider claims 3lb) and has won over hurdles around here. |
