12th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Third behind Better Days Ahead in last year's Martin Pipe here; won over fences at the second time of asking at Gowran Park (2m4f, soft to heavy) in January but needs to step up significantly on that in this quality of field. |

23rd Jan 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
3-4 over timber since joining this yard and was only beaten 1l on chase debut when just behind stablemate Chapeau De Soleil at Leopardstown last month; jumping needs to improve but interesting that Townend keeps the faith amongst some promising stablemates and that counts for plenty. |

12st 0lb |
Steadily progressive bumper/hurdle winner who ran well behind a promising Willie Mullins-trained rival at Ayr (2m4f) on Scottish National day when last seen; open to further improvement this season; commands respect on handicap debut. |

11st 7lb |
Four wins divided between bumpers and hurdle races; his first handicap success when digging deep for a narrow verdict at Haydock (1m7f, soft) and returning to further shouldn't be an issue; raised 5lb. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
In and out since coming to Britain from France, but he shaped quite well when fifth of nine over C&D in November (good to soft; Beau Balko second) and he's now 7lb lower; shaped better than the bare result (made a bad mistake) when fourth of seven at Stratford 12 days ago; needs to put everything together but first-time cheekpieces and a returning tongue-strap could help. |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Won over fences in France in 2023 and was a British hurdle winner for Paul Nicholls last season; pulled up (over hurdles) on stable debut in October but shaped well when fifth over fences at Newbury (2m, good to soft) the following month and may still have a bigger run in him. |
