The last of his two hurdle wins came just over two years ago off 5lb higher; close third over fences here two starts ago but below that level since; has to rebound back hurdling. |

Maiden handles testing ground well; finished second at Limerick (24.5f, heavy) last March and was again placed at Wexford (3m1f, soft) in May; pulled up twice last month; feasibly treated but more needed. |

Maiden handles testing ground well; second over 3m1f here in March and again placed over that trip at Wexford in May; marathon trip seemed too far when blinkered last time. |

10st 6lb |
Won a chase at Limerick in 2023 but 0-13 over hurdles and yet to trouble the judge; cheekpieces go on after a moderate run over fences at Clonmel on latest; 4lb lower in this sphere but others appeal more. |

Placed in points; best run under rules when close third to progressive type at Down Royal (2m4f) in January; long way off Atacanter over 3m1f here in March and not seen since the following month. |

Poor at Down Royal last time having been good third there in January; closely matched with Made In The Woods on Limerick running behind He Fitz In; quite unexposed so may be capable of better. |

Sole win came in 3m1f Punchestown handicap in late 2023; kept busy in recent weeks, standout on latest when third of seven at Limerick (24.5f, soft to heavy) 11 days ago; booking of Darragh O'Keeffe a plus. |

Sole win came in 3m1f Punchestown handicap in late 2023; kept busy since January return, standout run when third over 3m2f at Fairyhouse; amateur-ridden of late, senior professional now takes over. |

Is 1-19 over fences; last year ended on a low note and again below his best at Leopardstown two weeks ago; belatedly tries cheekpieces at the age of 11. |

Maiden was remote fourth in this last year on handicap debut and chased home well-treated rival at Navan (3m) next time; not matched that since, fair run at Tramore last time. |

7th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Returns to chasing here after failing to exploit his lower hurdles mark in handicaps at Punchestown and Fairyhouse, warm favourite on the second occasion; winner and twice runner-up in a three-race campaign over fences last season; trip-versatile, but probably best over further than this. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 55y |

Useful handicap chaser, beaten a neck off a mark of 130 here last April; returned last month off 21lb lower hurdles mark when staying on late to chase home ready winner Lough Nigara over 2m6f at Punchestown on soft-to-heavy; 6lb better off with that rival here. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 1f 100y |
10st 1lb |
Course hurdle winner has been running well in defeat over hurdles and fences lately; could have a bit more to offer on his eighth chase run; a player. |
6/1 |

2nd 11 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 154y |
11st 4lb |
In good form under both codes recently; 3lb outside the weights at Leopardstown but took the third spot (3m, soft); backed that up when runner-up in a Clonmel novice handicap chase last month (3m, soft); withdrawn due to unsuitable good ground at Down Royal last time, so conditions a question. |
