6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 110y |
11st 1lb |
Two wins in 2024 but no joy since; back to form with a 3.25l second at Naas (2m3f, sft-hvy) 29 days ago but remains 6lb above his last win and he's 2lb higher than when beaten 6.5l in this last year; would probably prefer softer ground too. |

Tow wins, notably the Lartigue at Listowel in 2024; only once near his best in eight starts since then, namely when second in 2m6f Fairyhouse handicap last April; badly out of form in three handicap hurdle outings between October and December. |

Runner-up in the 2024 Fred Winter; won the Lartigue (big 4yo handicap) at Listowel last year; ended a run of poor form with Fairyhouse second on his final start last season; had a spin in a charity race at the Curragh in late-August, so no fitness doubts. |

Dual 2m hurdles winner was a disappointing favourite on chase debut at Wexford in July after not jumping fluently when last seen; last win in this sphere came in a good ground Thurles handicap last December off 114; returned from a break with a win on the Flat in early July; chance. |

23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Dual 2m hurdles winner last year on good ground (rated 121) and emerged from 156-day absence in fine form to win 1m4f Tramore Flat maiden 15 days ago, making all to beat an odds-on shot decisively; very interesting now sent chasing, handles soft. |

Dual hurdles winner last year on good ground, also fair level of form on the Flat, including runner-up in handicaps at Gowran and Clonmel over 9.5f; absent since February but entitled to be thereabouts if staying this longer trip. |

Dual Flat winner; off the mark at fourth attempt hurdling with much-improved effort when running away with 2m2f Down Royal handicap in January; staying on in midfield when a last-flight faller at the Punchestown festival latest; absent since a poor run at Tramore in late May. |

Left Gordon Elliott under a cloud and for £3,500; has run in three soft-ground handicaps for new yard, finishing closer on latest but still beaten 25l so he looks best watched for now despite the cheekpieces (tried once in Ireland, finished second of four) being reinstated. |
