Career highlight when narrow winner of Listed handicap chase at Punchestown festival (3m, soft) last May but out of form since returning in October from a break; big leap of faith required to support him on this cross-country chase debut; tried blinkers last time; usual cheekpieces back on today. |

Won a valuable novice handicap at Navan in March 2023 off 107; ran only three times last season; fine effort when touched off in a Listed handicap chase at Punchestown off 124; should be close to a peak again now following last month's Gowran run. |

Bumper and hurdle winner was 0-5 over fences for Henry De Bromhead; has moved stables after a couple of heavy hurdles defeats at Leopardstown and Navan; ran well at just short of this trip in the Connacht National (3m1f, good) last year and just 1lb higher here; not discounted on debut for new yard. |

Arrived in good form when making all in this last year (good to soft); soundly beaten (hurdles) and pulled up (fences) on his two starts towards the end of last year and he returns from a break with something to prove, but he's just 3lb higher than 12 months ago and is not ruled out. |

Won the Killarney National (3m2f, yielding) by a nose off 122 on latest, his first win over fences (Happy Jacky 13l back in third); raised 8lb for that and he may not be as effective going right-handed over fences; not totally discounted but others appeal more. |

11st 12lb |
Smart novice chaser in 2021-22 season; lightly raced since; pulled up last spring on final two runs for Gordon Elliott (Pertemps Final/Grand National); sold last May for £8,500; this 10yo is probably best watched on his stable debut, for which he wears first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces. |

Smart novice chaser two seasons back; 613 days off before this term, easily best of five runs since when beaten a neck in a Pertemps qualifier over hurdles but he was pulled up in the Final last month; 100-1 when pulled up in Irish Grand National. |

Very useful handicapper for Willie Mullins at his best but out of form for a good while now; tailed off for new stable last month; tongue-tie added today; revival needed. |

Only 1-12 over fences when with Willie Mullins but ran well (second off 2lb higher) in the 2024 Thyestes; not in anything like the same form since and sold for 16,000gns since last run; expectations may be reflected in the market signals. |

Sole win came on hurdles debut at Auteuil in 2022 (2m1f, heavy); second in the 2023 Martin Pipe; 0-10 over fences, thouhg has been running okay in some valuable staying handicap chases including in the bet365 at Sandown most recently where he finished fourth of 19 (3m4f, good); appears to have a good opportunity to bag a second win. |

26th Apr 2025 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |

Sole win was in France on debut, so he's now 0-13 for Willie Mullins and 0-9 over fences; clearly best effort came in the Scottish National on soft ground last year when about 8l sixth, coming from well off the pace (2lb higher today); penultimate outing gave some renewed hope, before he was unluckily carried out in the latest Scottish National when cheekpieces were added; just 9-1 that day but he's 6lb out of the handicap this time. |

Pulled up the last twice, most recently at Newcastle in November, which was disappointing as he usually goes well when fresh in the autumn; however, he's on a competitive mark on last season's best form and this C&D winner could bounce back with a good run in his first veterans' chase. |

Opened chase account on 11th attempt when winning by 6l at Bangor (3m, soft) and followed up on his return to hurdling at Ballinrobe (2m6f, good); has his tail up but looked a hard ride at times at Bangor and this is a stronger race, in which he's 8lb higher; Patrick M O'Brien has been riding him. |

Won a valuable handicap chase at Listowel (2m6f, soft to heavy; handles good) in September when 6lb lower and kept on well to finish third back over hurdles last time; not entirely dismissed, though he is an 11yo now and does lack recent match practice. |
