Three Flat wins came over a mile but stays well enough over hurdles; showed improved form on second start for this yard when winning a 2m2f Downpatrick novice; some of his rivals underperformed that day but can't be underestimated either. |
8/1 |

10th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 165y |
10st 13lb |
Dual-purpose performer for Henry De Bromhead, signing off for that yard when winning a 1m soft-ground claimer at Killarney with plenty in hand (in this new headgear combination); far too keen on yard debut in Galway Flat handicap and cheekpieces now replace blinkers for hurdles return (first in 15 months). |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 100y |
11st 3lb |
Dual-purpose; no win over hurdles since Fairyhouse maiden success in February 2024 (2m, heavy); shaped ok when staying on for 16.5l fifth behind Jacovec Cavern on seasonal return but didn't back it up when 5-1 favourite at Ballinrobe (22.5f, good) latest; stamina to prove now up in trip. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |

Sole success over hurdles a Fairyhouse maiden (2m, heavy) in February 2024; beaten a head off 3lb lower at the Galway Festival last August (2m1f, good); shaped like this trip might suit when remote third behind Jacovec Tavern at Punchestown (19.5f, yielding) in sole start since; could go well. |
5/1 |

3rd 10 |
29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |

Won over 1m6f on the Flat at the 2024 Galway festival; never landed a blow when 6-1 for the big amateur handicap at the same fixture last July; different proposition later that week, only just denied in a valuable 2m1f handicap hurdle; could be a big player if fit and ready. |

Two-time chase winner; fine effort when runner-up in a Cartmel handicap chase in June 2025 but only seen three times since and well beaten both starts in 2026, over hurdles at Haydock and in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham; needs to rediscover best. |

Better known as a four-time winner on the Flat; maiden hurdle winner in 2023; ran out at the third-last when clear in a hurdle race at Fairyhouse in April 2024; returned from a long absence with a run in December; should be sharper now. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; fairly useful hurdler who's won from the front in three of his last four Flat starts, including at Navan (1m5f, good to yielding) and Killarney (2m1f, soft; Almuhit fourth) in his two runs this season; the latter was in fine style and a major step forward with the step up in trip, so this improving 5yo is one to take seriously despite his rise in the weights and a much stronger race. |
