Two-time winner over hurdles with his last win coming over C&D in April off 98 (16.5f, yielding); has been running consistently since then without winning; 6.75l sixth of 10 at Wexford last time (2m1f, good to yielding); each-way chance but 2lb wrong. |

11st 12lb |
Both hurdle wins have been at 3m on decent ground, including at Clonmel last October; not so effective in a couple of recent attempts chasing but in between went down by only a neck (clear of remainder) to a well-handicapped sort in 3m Cork handicap hurdle; drying ground to suit and one for the shortlist. |

Generally reliable sort since fifth to Finnians Row at Gowran last autumn, winning twice; went up 6lb for 2m4f Limerick success in April; in theory, has a slight edge over A Nod To Getaway on Tipperary running early last month. |

Won a Wexford handicap hurdle for Brendan Walsh in 2024 off 87, and first success since came in a 2m4f Limerick handicap chase in May (good to yielding) off 6lb lower; disappointed as favourite when attempting to take advantage of his lower hurdles mark at Cork last time (2m1f, good); not ruled out now back chasing. |
