Progressive sort who seemed to relish the step up in trip at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day and that form has been boosted by the runner-up winning since; won in better style than the winning margin suggested that day and there could be more to come from this point winner stepping up in trip; seemingly down the order on jockey bookings. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 26y |
11st 3lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner before regressing for Gordon Elliott, and new yard hasn't arrested that decline; after a break, never involved over this trip at Galway and well held over longer trips last twice. |

Bumper and maiden hurdle winner for Gordon Elliott; two runs for his current stable and probably failed to see out the 3m2f at Ballinrobe last time; others preferred. |

Bumper and maiden hurdle winner on heavy for former yard; inauspicious start for this stable when 100-1 and tailed off at Galway (16.5f, good); needs softer ground. |

Bred to make a chaser and he got off the mark in this sphere in a Cork novice (17.5f, good) latest, although his jumping needs to improve; sheer determination got him up to win but he won't get away with such mistakes on his handicap debut over fences. |

Has run well in his three handicap hurdles, the last two in cheekpieces; as good as any of these in that discipline and bred to make a chaser. |

Promise in bumpers last year on decent ground; much more testing conditions in first three hurdle runs last season possibly did not suit; close up in third when favourite at Down Royal in his second handicap; likely contender over this longer trip. |

Rated 139 over hurdles; made all for three wins over hurdles last year; career best when winning a 20-runner Leopardstown handicap last Christmas (2m4f, good to yielding); bombed out on his first try over fences at Ballinrobe last time (2m1f, good); is better than that. |

Made all for three wins over hurdles last year; career best at Leopardstown (2m4f, good to yielding) last Christmas when taking 20-runner handicap; dropped away in the straight in the Coral Cup; won a point-to-point for Ciaran Murphy in 2023; should make a useful novice chaser. |

Landed a handicap chase at Killarney in May (20.5f, gd-yld) off 7lb lower; failed to follow up off revised mark at Limerick and soundly beaten off higher hurdles mark at Galway on latest; a bit to prove for now. |

Showed nothing in his first five starts under rules but ran by far his best race when sixth of 13 at Wexford (3m, good to yielding) behind Bigira on handicap debut last month; that was his first try at this trip in this sphere and he might have been closer but for a jumping error three from home. |

Sholokhov gelding; closely related to winners Barney From Tyanee (2m4f hurdle) and Miss Butterfly (point); dam unraced half-sister to smart bumper/2m-3m hurdle/chase winner Woodland Opera; may need further than this. |
