2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 7f 68y |
10st 0lb |
Off the mark at 19th attempt chasing last month when forcing tactics adopted in 3m2f Down Royal handicap, ready success on good ground; 7lb rise leaves him just 1lb out of the handicap which is negated by rider's claim; interesting if ground continues to dry out. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 50y |
11st 0lb |
Hurdle winner is yet to win over fences in 18 starts but ran a fine race at Clonmel last time over nearly 3m; stepping up in trip will be a help and can be involved off the same mark. |

26th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 122y |
11st 10lb |
Still seeking a first chase win after 17 attempts, runner-up three times and has run creditably in the last two editions of the 3m6f Portertstown Chase at Fairyhouse; others seem more likely unless cheekpieces do the trick. |

Better chaser albeit well below best twice in valuable handicaps in December and pulled up after never counting in valuable 3m Leopardstown handicap hurdle early this month; cheekpieces tried. |

Some good chase form in 2023-24 season and he won two points early last year; he's in the picture on his best form but has failed to shine on his two point starts this winter. |

26th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 5f 0y |

Placed many times over hurdles and was a fine 3rd on chasing debut at Galway (2m2f) after a break; this longer trip will suit better and should go close. |

3rd Oct 2023 Soft To Heavy 2m 2f 110y |

Usually thereabouts in maiden hurdles, posting an RPR of 125 when second at Cork on his penultimate run (3m, yielding to soft); this trip looks on the tight side for chase debut but his ability is respected. |

Winning hurdler, 0-10 over fences but worth considering after two seconds in beginners' chases; beaten 5 1/2l by the subsequent Paddy Power winner Meetingofthewaters at Cork; good effort against the in-form Ask Anything over 2m4f at this venue. |

Won claiming hurdles at Limerick and Sligo before being given a lot to do on the Flat (another claimer) last month; running well but this could be a better race than the ones he's been winning. |

12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
All his form is on soft or heavy ground, including two handicap wins last April and the second of those was this race by a nose from Surrey Quest (always prominent); 5lb higher today but the chief worry is that he's been so horrendously out of form this season. |

5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Big improver sent chasing by his new yard last season and he then disputed the lead over the final fence in this race, only to end up 16l behind in seventh; needs to see it out a lot better and, after he faded well out of contention on all three starts this term, he nevertheless returns to Aintree with a 1lb higher mark than last year. |

Big improver over fences on joining this yard last season, notably running away with 3m Paddy Power here and good third in Ultima at Cheltenham; two runs here this term well below best, in Paddy Power and never landing a blow off considerably lower hurdles mark at DRF; another with a bit to prove right now. |

5th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 198y |

Course handicap hurdle winner in 2021; bolted up on yard debut at Ballinrobe in September (2m6f, soft) before solid fifth at Listowel; below best at Cheltenham next time; ran well for a long way here (24.5f, yielding) over fences in December. |

Won a 3m2f Limerick handicap chase in May for the late Edward O'Grady; pulled up on next two outings (coughing on the first occasion); return to hurdling did the trick when he scored readily on recent stable debut at Ballinrobe; can remain competitive off 7lb higher, with the same talented 7lb claimer up. |

Won a valuable staying handicap chase at the 2024 Punchestown festival; ordinary form since then, although did well to maintain contact with top-class performers when 66-1 outsider of four at Down Royal on St Patrick's Day; flattered by proximity but the run implies a return to form; rider doing well in point-to-points, 8-22 this season. |

Some decent chase form last season; placed off 116 in Naas handicap and not beaten far by Intense Raffles in Fairyhouse beginners; his fall in last month's Ulster National (only 9-1) was his third in four starts, though, so has to sort out his jumping. |

First reserve; interrupted campaign chasing and best run when third in 2m6f Fairyhouse beginners last season (soft); better for recent comeback run but still hard to see him having an impact; 1lb wrong. |
