Very high class handicap hurdler; second in the County Hurdle and was awarded the Galway Hurdle in 2025; warmed up for this by winning a charity Flat race at the Curragh; the one to beat on his chase debut. |

Promoted winner of this race last year after receiving critical interference; has been mixing hurdling and Flat action since then, down the field in the County Hurdle; beat the very useful Absurde in a conditions' hurdle at Cork in April; kept ticking over with an odds-on Flat win in a 1m6f Listowel contest two months ago; 7lb higher than last year. |

11st 11lb |
Back in good nick in refitted cheekpieces at Southwell (2m4f, good) on Tuesday, winning easily by 32l in a small field; it's tricky to gauge what that form is worth but, nevertheless, he commands respect under 7lb penalty. |

Hasn't been at his best on the Flat the last twice (effective in that scene) but he's talented and won a 2m maiden hurdle at Navan in March without much fuss, fulfilling the promise of his initial effort in a good race at Naas; just a worry that those best efforts have been in the mud and this trip represents a new venture. |

Dual-purpose; sole win on the Flat came on the AW off 67 over 1m4f for Ger Lyons; no impact in a trio of maiden hurdles on testing ground but drying track will suit on his handicap debut; could improve and is worth a market check. |
