20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Tailed off in his three hurdle runs and he bled from the nose when a well-held seventh on handicap/chase debut at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft; first run since wind surgery) last month; in good hands and still very lightly raced but he needs a transformation with hood added. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Irish point winner; a bumpy road in Britain but he went close over C&D in June and came well clear at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last weekend; probably not straightforward and he has hung away from the whip but likely has an easier task under a penalty than when reassessed. |

Surged in the weights for wins at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) and Southwell (2m4f, good) last autumn; below par on his last two starts for the O'Neills but he's since joined a bang-in-form stable (for £23,000) and has to be of interest in first-time blinkers after a break. |

0-7 but signed off over hurdles with a second of 15 here in October (2m3f, soft) when fitted with a hood that was retained when again making the frame on chase debut at Warwick (3m1f, good to soft); beaten a shade over 10l in the latter but he made up his ground quickly before weakening and the run can be upgraded; headgear left off here but perhaps it's unwise to read much into that. |

Staying-on second at 100-1 in maiden at Warwick (2m3f, good) in April on his second start over hurdles; 6-4 favourite when going one better at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in May; it's striking to see that this handicap debut (after nearly six months off) is over so much further and he seems to bring stacks of potential. |

Unraced beyond 3m2f but should stay further than that; 15l winner of a major 3m handicap at Kempton last February but he's found his revised mark a bit too tough since (close second to Herakles Westwood at Cheltenham on New Year's Day) and is still 10lb higher today; others are a bit more persuasive. |

Always wears a tongue-tie; on a sharp upward curve when taking this 12 months ago by some 15l (on good to soft); makes his defence off an 11lb higher mark but on the back of a return to form at Cheltenham (in cheekpieces; wore a visor in this last year); course form here always ticks a big box and can run well again. |

11th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |

Won in January in his first two chases (3m/3m2f, soft/heavy) then lacked fluency over his fences when second at Wincanton (3m2f, good to soft); bar one small blip he jumped much better at Kempton (3m, good to soft) 17 days ago when romping home in the Ladbrokes Trophy; hit with 12lb rise but that may not stop this highly progressive 7yo, who was very impressive last time. |
