28th Sep 2024 Soft 2m 2f 0y |
11st 13lb |
Is 1-9 over hurdles; last sighted in May beating a subsequent two-time winner in a beginners' chase at Downpatrick (19.5f, good); sole win over timber came in November of last year off 90 on soft at Cork (2m); seems best going right handed and might need this on his return from 127 days off. |

24th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 100y |

Record of 1-9 over hurdles but has been consistent enough in handicaps, mostly on easier ground; has 10l to find with Warm In Gorey from his chasing debut at Wexford but will have improved from then; yard in great form and a player. |

20th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Won over 2m1f at Clonmel on heavy last season and saw out 3m really well to win at Roscommon in August on softish ground, a career-best; ran well for long way on last month's comeback at Gowran before tiring; better for that and has form on good ground too. |

6th Aug 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 213y |
11st 10lb |
Won over 2m1f at Clonmel on heavy ground in October and runner-up at Cork next time; hint at definite return to form at Sligo last month, not quite getting 3m2f trip; slight drop in distance to suit and so would likely softer ground. |

Veteran added a fourth win when landing a C&D handicap in July (good) off this mark; third of 16 at Kilbeggan last time suggests he still retains some level of ability. |

3-36 on the Flat and 2-30 over hurdles after signing off for Paul Flynn with a Punchestown win last October (2m, good to yielding); has been running okay on the AW for this yard; not discounted. |

23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |

Five-time winner in Ireland (hurdles/Flat) but he was well held in two starts for this yard at the end of last year; however, he seemed to be going quite well at the top of the straight before weakening into seventh at Kempton (2m, AW) 17 days ago and may take a step forward from that return to action. |

6th Oct 2024 Good 2m 6f 180y |

Disputing the lead when falling at the last in a 2m handicap at Cork last November; decent effort in first-time cheekpieces at Navan (2m6f) on next start when fourth behind a progressive winner; respectable fifth in a 23-runner contest over 3m at Naas in April, despite untidy jumping; potentially interesting if fit and ready after a break |
