21st Apr 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 25y |
11st 1lb |
Gained third win over fences here in January off 118 over 2m4f (yielding to soft); no impact upped in trip and class the last twice at Punchestown (3m3f) and Naas (3m1f); big drop in trip here may not be ideal. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up at the Cheltenham Festival (3m2f, good to soft) last month; however, he was also pulled up at Leicester last February prior to winning this race at 22-1 (good to soft) so he's capable of bouncing back. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Only last April he enjoyed his finest hour when winning the hunters' chase over the Grand National fences (good to soft); followed that with a second over C&D to Music Drive before winning Stratford's Horse & Hound Cup; he's not without hope judged on all that and, although this year's form is underwhelming, so too was his run prior to winning at Aintree. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Landed two of British hunter chasing's three big prizes (Aintree, 2m5f and Stratford, 3m3f) during a 2024-25 season founded on consistency at a high level rather than progression; match-fitness is a given for his yard's runners and, with stamina to spare, he may not be for catching. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Kept on well to score here (2m1f, good) on Saturday, getting off the mark over fences at the 20th attempt; has 7lb penalty to shoulder today but the longer trip and likely slower ground will both be in his favour. |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
0-19 over fences; went close here (2m5f, heavy) last summer and is now 5lb below that mark but his recent efforts have been disappointing and he might find 2m1f on good ground an inadequate stamina test. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Useful when trained in Ireland but generally very disappointing for current stable since the autumn; ought to have coped much better with the soft ground when pulled up at Cartmel last month; others preferred. |

Useful when trained in Ireland but generally very disappointing for current stable since the autumn; arrested decline with respectable fifth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) three weeks ago but needs to build on that run. |

Hurdles winner is 0-7 chasing, having failed to complete on three of those; still not a fluent jumper although penultimate Fairyhouse effort was a solid one; hard to be confident in. |
