15th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Made heavy weather of justifying short odds in his maiden (2m, soft) but benefited enormously from the step up to 2m4f when coming from last to first in the Grade 1 Lawlor's at Naas (outsider of seven; Lecky Watson staying on in third); hasn't been foot-perfect over his hurdles but that can improve with experience and there are 3m winners in his family; big shout. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 55y |
11st 3lb |
Winner of a maiden hurdle at this track in January 2024 (2m, soft); best run since then was last time at this track again when third of 18 in a valuable handicap chase (2m4f, yielding); hasn't looked a natural jumper of a fence but appears to have a liking for this place and capable of a big run. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 150y |
11st 12lb |
Quality sort reached his peak when winning a Navan Grade 2 hurdle over 2m6f in February; however, jumped badly right and was poor in the Pertemps Final last time; posted two decent chase runs in 2024 and should be difficult to beat if jumping soundly. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Never got seriously involved when ninth in the 2m5f handicap at last year's Festival; 2m6f-3m has proved just the ticket this winter with three wins (including the Punchestown qualifier) and a second, with last two outings in Grade 2; they were all in the mud but good to soft was fine earlier in career; tough customer and Gordon Elliott won this three times in a row not so long ago, twice with Sire Du Berlais among the topweights. |

Suited by testing conditions; won Pertemps Qualifier over this trip at Punchestown before readily taking less competitive 2m6f Clonmel conditions event; better again in 3m Grade 2 Galmoy Hurdle at Gowran when clear second to a 159-rated rival. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |

Both chase wins have been here in 2m1f handicaps, notably a year ago in valuable Listed contest off 122 (yielding); yet to hit form this season however, mildly encouraging when attempting repeat win last month; bit to prove at the moment but step up in trip here could see improvement. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 185y |
11st 12lb |
Quirky sort who can sometimes be reluctant to race; got a deserved first win after a series of fine runs in defeat at Punchestown in January (2m6f, soft to heavy); beaten just a neck back there next time; bagged another win at Thurles earlier this month, rallying to get back up by a nose despite rider dropping his whip; up 7lb but in great form. |
