Signed off last season with Listed handicap hurdle success at the Punchestown Festival; finished just in front of Quai De Bourbon on last month's return but Townend seemingly prefers that stablemate again; ground versatile. |

Bumper winner is 0-10 over hurdles; went close in a Punchestown novice handicap in February 2024 off 114 and 2lb lower now; decent effort in a maiden at Limerick latest (3m, good); testing ground fine and he has place claims at least. |

12st 0lb |
Winner of nine of his 18 starts in points; has recorded five wins and three seconds since October for the very capable Emily Costello; however, he put a blot on his record when unseating his rider at the first in a hunter chase at Thurles early last month. |

29th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 184y |

Highly dependable in points; never out of the first two in eight starts since a mishap at this venue last March, when he burst a blood vessel; won three in a row during the autumn campaign; found only the promising I Walked The Line too good at Clonmel; clear pick on form and his rider is enjoying an excellent season in points, eight wins from 14 rides. |

11st 11lb |
Sole win from 21 runs came in a Listed novice handicap chase at Navan last March (2m5f, heavy) off this mark; badly out of form since and now makes stable debut with first-time cheekpieces replacing the blinkers worn the last day. |

Won a Listed handicap chase at Navan in March (2m4f, heavy) off 7lb lower so can't be entirely dismissed, though he could have shaped a lot better after a break at Gowran (behind some of these). |

Scored at this venue on his chase debut in October 2024; soundly beaten by a longer-priced stablemate at Naas before out of the money at Leopardstown; missed all of 2025; could feature for top local and stable if fit and ready after long layoff. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Led close home to win tactical hunter chase at Fakenham (3m, good) last month; found things happening too quickly and jumped badly right throughout when remote last of three at Warwick (2m, good) 18 days ago but moves back up in trip here and the switch to a right-handed track ought to suit. |

1st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |

First wins for three years when striking last month in a Paxford restricted (2m4f) and Fakenham maiden hunter chase (3m, led last stride), both on good; prospects would improve if curbing the habit of jumping right evident on both of those occasions. |

Showed some fair form under rules when based in Ireland and comfortably won minor point at Paxford (2m4f, good) for new stable a week ago; not sure to be suited by this move back up in trip but still commands respect; sports refitted tongue-tie and first-time cheekpieces. |
