11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Second to Lecky Watson in the 3m Grade 1 novice at Cheltenham last March; while comfortably dismissed in the closing stages of his three starts this winter, the first two of those were Grade 1 events and giving 8lb to Grangeclare West and Gerri Colombe at Fairyhouse (blinkers replaced cheekpieces) on latest outing makes that result look a whole lot better; above all, perhaps, while unraced beyond 3m2f, he has strongly suggested on plenty of occasions that he has serious stamina reserves; each-way appeal. |

Won Grade 2 novice chase at Punchestown (3m, soft) last season and 4l second to Lecky Watson in the Brown Advisory at Cheltenham; made little impression in the Betfair Chase at Haydock on return and down the field in the Savills; a winner of the 2024 Albert Bartlett on heavy, he should relish the ground but race conditions don't favour him; tongue tie and blinkers go on for the first time. |

Won over 3m on handicap debut (first-time cheekpieces) at Down Royal in January, beating subsequent Ulster National winner Born Braver; in rear in the Grand National Trial at Punchestown and ordinary run in Ladies National at Fairyhouse last time; all four wins have been on soft or worse, so that's a concern; yard has won last three renewals. |

Three-time Grade 1 winner as a novice hurdler, including twice last spring, and he began his chasing career in promising style with two wins this winter; there have since been significant reverses when well beaten at Cheltenham and falling at Aintree, both in Grade 1s over about 3m, but he'd previously suggested a strength in stamina which gives this test some appeal. |

Has finished behind Stellar Story at the last two Cheltenham Festivals but was hindered by being pestered up front in latest; otherwise a smart stayer who retains the potential to land a top prize over fences, having been a three-time Grade 1 winner as a novice hurdler, including on this card 12 months ago; remains of major interest. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
10st 6lb |
Lightly raced but already a better chaser than hurdler, two wins coming over 2m4f at Wexford, most recently showing good attitude back in October on good-to-yielding; absent since but conditions to suit and likely more to offer. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 130y |

One of two for trainer; built on a creditable third at Kilbeggan on chasing debut to win a beginners' over C&D in July (good); struggled upon entering handicap chase company back at Kilbeggan when upped in trip (3m2f, good to yielding); return to here may see him to best effect. |

A 2m4f maiden hurdle winner who doubled his tally when off the mark over fences at the second attempt at Wexford (2m3f, good); probably on a competitive mark and he's unexposed over this sort of trip, one he should stay. |

Mistakes costly when pulled up in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) last November when last seen; however, this front-runner was 3-3 in handicap chases previously, the latest win a convincing one at Killarney (2m5f, good to yielding) in August; certainly remains of interest. |
