Ex-Irish veteran who scored here (2m) last month on second Flat start for new yard, taking AW record to 3-14; may remain competitive, having gone back up just 1lb. |

20th Dec 2024 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won a claimer at Dundalk (10.6f) in October and he stayed on well for fourth here (1m6f) on his stable debut the following month; has each-way claims on that form but this 9yo is not easy to predict and was well held back over hurdles last time; risks attached. |

Turf winner for Richard Hannon as a 3yo and won his first two starts (Polytrack/hurdles) in the spring of 2022, but 0-26 under both codes since; makes his debut for another new yard and worth a market check; stable also runs Knight Of Magic. |

Has very mixed record over hurdles but won here (2m, good) last year and was unlucky to come to grief when running well at Bellewstown (2m1f, good) 12 days ago; unexposed over this trip; no surprise if he features. |

Well backed when landing a novice handicap at Perth in June 2025; two runs this year over hurdles nowhere near that level; tongue tie added to cheekpieces; needs to revive. |

10lb higher than for his Perth win last June (2m, good), after which he ran well on the Flat at Galway; back from 289 days off when beaten about 12l at Wexford and that could have been needed; on a tough mark, though. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 1m 3f 150y |
9st 10lb |
Won easily at Down Royal (1m5f, good) and nicely on top last week at Roscommon (1m4f, yielding to soft) when defying a 9lb rise; now has the same hike to deal with in what is a stronger race; however, he is riding on the crest of a wave. |

5-27 on turf; now just 1lb higher than when winning at Leopardstown last October (1m2f, heavy); best run of the season when fourth of 16 over 1m4f at Galway last month; trip-versatile, but probably best at around 1m2f. |

Gained a first turf win at Bellewstown on penultimate; well held off revised mark at Roscommon latest but has won six times here (including two C&D claimers) so could be dangerous back at this venue. |
