9st 8lb |
Didn't fulfill the promise of his Galway debut second (hvy) when beaten 8l into fourth at Tipperary next time after racing keenly; that winner subsequently won a Group 1, so it wasn't a bad run either; needs to settle better but a big shout if doing so; yard in form. |

Little impact in four maidens; Jockey reported a tendency to hang left at Cork in his first handicap; may need further experience. |

21st May 2024 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Well beaten in four maidens and has to improve plenty even tackling handicaps off a low mark; however, yard's record necessitates a market check; 1lb out of the handicap. |

Not much promise from four runs in maidens and claimers up to 1m2f; has to do much more on handicap debut up markedly in trip; 1lb out of the handicap; hood added. |

Rated 83 on the Flat and 127 over hurdles; did not show a great deal on his chase debut at Galway but this is easier and stable in fine form. |

Useful dual-purpose performer; rated 83 on the Flat; 1-6 over hurdles and rated 127; out of form on the Flat this year, however, and not bred for chasing; others appeal more. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
11st 12lb |
Flat and hurdles winner; not a bad effort when a 14.5l fourth of nine on chase debut at Wexford (2m3f, good, 3.5l behind Los Blanco); didn't quite see the trip out that day so not sure this longer trip will suit. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y |

Dual-purpose 5yo gained his third win on the Flat in 1m5f Navan handicap in April, okay run in better-class Curragh contest following month; hurdles win came in 2m1f maiden here last summer, soft ground was probably against him in subsequent handicaps; back on better ground here could go well if taking to chasing. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
10st 5lb |
Off the mark over fences at Wexford in May (2m, gd-yld); came up short off revised mark at Galway (2m2f, good) but wasn't disgraced; return to softer ground no problem and still only a 5yo, so not ruled out. |
8/1 |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 11lb |
One of three for stable; flat and hurdles winner off the mark over fences off 6lb lower at Wexford (2m, gd-yld) when last seen in May; this longer trip should be fine and yard made hay at this meeting last season; can't discount. |

Flat/hurdle wins came in 2024; 0-4 chasing this past season (blood in nostrils fourth occasion) and back hurdling the last twice, notably when placed in 2m Naas handicap off 110; scope for improvement off this 7lb lower chase mark. |
