Most recent of three hurdle wins was in May 2024; off since later that year; may need this against that background. |

2nd Sep 2024 Soft To Heavy 1m 4f 17y |
10st 1lb |
Dual-purpose; 1-7 on the Flat; won over hurdles at Ballinrobe in May; below par on last Flat run at Fairyhouse; his flat win came off 64 at Down Royal (1m5f, good) and is 15lb higher here; handles testing ground but may need some respite from the handicapper. |

Consistency rewarded with a defeat of 15 rivals over 2m at Ballinrobe in May but after looking threatening to a point he faded into a remote fourth at Sligo (2m1f, good to yielding); remains on the same career-high mark. |

Long-standing maiden; back from a break with midfield efforts over hurdles at Down Royal and on chasing debut at Limerick (2m2f, good); trip and ground fine but needs to find improvement from somewhere. |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 1f 200y |

Ran respectably over hurdles when returning from a big layoff on most recent start, travelling okay but made a bad mistake at a crucial point; prior to that his form was mediocre; he could play a role if his first run over fences brings about some further improvement. |

0-9 over hurdles; posted best effort to date on latest when an 8l fourth of 14 at Kilbeggan (2m2f, gd-yld); down 1lb for that but didn't shape like he was crying out for this longer trip; others have more pressing claims. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 165y |
11st 5lb |
Handicap hurdle winner here in January 2024 (3m, heavy); some good runs in defeat over fences last season, filling the frame in three of his four runs inc' here off 1lb higher (2m5f, soft to heavy); returned from just over a year off at Navan last time when never better than midfield and pulled up; can get involved if back to his best but a bit to prove now. |
