Appeared to be making gradual progress over hurdles, but now switched to chasing after fifth placing in an 18-runner Punchestown handicap; dam Jacksonlady was a smart chaser; early days for her could be a useful long-term prospect. |

Generally reliable sort since fifth to Finnians Row at Gowran last autumn, winning twice; went up 6lb for 2m4f Limerick success in April; in theory, has a slight edge over A Nod To Getaway on Tipperary running early last month. |

11st 10lb |
A fair 2m3f hurdles scorer for John Joseph Hanlon but he ended his time there below par; starts out for his new yard on a handy-looking mark though so he's not without interest on the back of wind surgery; visor replaces blinkers. |

15th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |

Better than ever last year, winning over hurdles twice, including here (2m6f, yielding); 0-12 chasing but stayed on for third over C&D in May after racing wide; and would have got closer at Wexford last time but for repeated jumping errors; place chance if jumps better. |

Conditions are no problem but he's not won since July 2024 and has struggled in both runs this year, including on stable debut at Ffos Las (ran in snatches) last month; has plenty to prove and needs to get back on track. |
