12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Off the mark over fences at the fourth attempt in Newbury handicap in February (2m7f, soft; Pic Roc second); also effective on good going; merely mid-division in the Jack Richards at Cheltenham since but he's back in a less competitive race here and he could tap back into his previous promise. |

18th Jan 2025 Heavy 2m 5f 50y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Second in Irish point; 16-1 or 28-1 in last season's three novice hurdles (about 2m3f-2m5f) and duly found them tough, failing to pose a threat, but he did show ability and probably acts on heavy going; should stay further than this in time but this should be a slog and he needs a close look on handicap/seasonal debut, for stable which also runs topweight Nordic Tiger. |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Course winner over hurdles last season (2m3f, heavy) and made quite promising chase debut in December; yet to build on that performance but was in contention before bad jumping error seemed to knock the stuffing out of him in the straight here a fortnight ago (first-time visor); no surprise if he gets his act together over fences soon. |

Has inconsistent form but this seasonal/chase debut may be the time to catch him; gained sole hurdles win on reappearance last term; had wind surgery (his second) since last run. |

In this month last year he completed a good-ground hat-trick in winning at Hereford (2m3f) when 6lb lower; coped okay with the soft when second to course specialist Investment Manager here in September; chance. |
