Form & Verdict
Fine effort when second to Monbeg Park (now rated 137) on hurdling debut at Punchestown a year ago; competed in bumpers subsequently, placed behind a Willie Mullins-trained winner on three occasions before scoring at Cork in April; won a Sligo maiden hurdle readily on return and can follow up.

J: Josh Williamson

Bumper and two-time hurdle winner; 0-15 chasing but has run well in defeat at times, most notably over 3m6f at the Cheltenham Festival in 2025 and when a neck second to Better Times Ahead in the Porterstown at Fairyhouse in November (yielding); out of sorts in four runs since however so big upturn in performance required but 13lb better off with Better Times Ahead now, plus rider's claim.

Form & Verdict
Contributed to yard's excellent run of form (mostly on the Flat) when beating subsequent wide-margin Clonmel winner Stuzzikini in a handicap hurdle over this trip at Punchestown; promoted to 119, but will need more than that in order to make a race of it with Will Do.

Inconsistent chaser who's saved his best for Cheltenham in 2025 and 2026, including a win (his only handicap success) in January 2025 and third at the Festival this March; both were over an extended 2m4f and he's shown his form only once from seven attempts under rules over 3m+; not the percentage call.

9lb higher when beaten 3.5l by Riskintheground 12 months ago; 0-10 in the meantime but the new visor worked well when a never-nearer third in the Plate at Cheltenham last month and clear claims if he can back that up.

Pulled up in the 2m4f novice handicap here last March but that was out of character as he had won over that C&D the time before and generally has a good track record; not much of a force this season, though, and he doesn't look in enough form to take advantage of a weights drop; often wears headgear, first-time visor today.
