11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 100y |
11st 8lb |
Sole win came in a maiden hurdle in late 2023; fell mid-race on chase debut in this race 12 months ago and was pulled up on last month's return over hurdles. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 15y |

No joy since 2m3f Limerick maiden hurdle win on heavy in December 2023; off since falling in a chase at Killarney in May 2025; likely best watched. |

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. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 |
1st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 1lb |
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. |
11/4 |

1st 3 |
13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
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. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
10st 5lb |
Made winning return in 2m5f Cork handicap in November (yielding) and given winter off until not looking to stay 3m6f in National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham in March; interesting contender back in trip here with ground to suit. |
14/1 |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after scoring over an extended 2m6f at Limerick (good) in May and moving nearly 7l clear on the run-in over 2m5f at Cork (yielding) in November; the latter is easily his best form but his chase career began with a strong finish over an extended 3m1f last March, which sparks interest for this test. |
15/2 |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 160y |
11st 12lb |
Winner of maiden hurdle at Navan (2m4f, heavy); some creditable handicap efforts in that sphere; 120-rated hurdler was an eyecatching second on chase debut at Wexford (25.5f, good to yielding) on latest; considered. |

21st Aug 2024 Yielding 3m 1f 98y |

Dual point-to-point winner but not too much to recommend under Rules, brought down early on recent handicap hurdle debut at Galway; probably best watched for now. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 7f 150y |
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. |
2/1 |

29th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 184y |
12st 0lb |
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. |

29th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 3f 0y |

Point winner on heavy; probably didn't achieve a great deal when well-beaten second to long odds-on favourite at Fairyhouse (2m7f) although third ran fairly well off 104 in Leopardstown handicap. |

20th Sep 2024 Good 2m 1f 165y |

Made all to win at Sligo on handicap debut, despite making a couple of errors; indifferent round of jumping when fifth off his revised mark at the same venue a month ago. |

21st Aug 2024 Yielding 2m 1f 93y |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Second-season novice who has improved significantly of late, winning Thyestes Chase at Gowran Park (3m1f handicap, heavy) in January; something of a fortunate winner that day and needs to improve again. |
40/1 |

1st 13 |
22nd Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Grade 2 winner over hurdles; 0-9 over fences but might have given Haiti Couleurs something to think about in the 3m6f National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham had he not come down two out; no show in the Irish National; good third to Final Demand in Navan beginners' on return; only midfield in the 3m5f Porterstown before a better effort when fourth in the Paddy Power. |
9/1 |

21st Apr 2025 Soft To Heavy 3m 5f 37y |

2023 point winner; won a 3m Grade 2 novice hurdle on heavy at Haydock last season; shaped promisingly on fourth chase start, when not far off today's rival Kinturk Kalanisi and subsequent Scottish National winner Captain Cody at Navan; around two lengths off Haiti Couleurs when falling at the second-last at Cheltenham; a leading contender. |
