9th Mar 2025 Soft 2m 3f 109y |
11st 11lb |
Grade 2 novice hurdle winner in his pomp and showed he's just as effective over fences with two wins early this season; last seen finishing third in a handicap chase at the Galway Festival; testing ground would be fine but has a modest record fresh so might be best watched after 217 days off. |

4th Aug 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 54y |
10st 4lb |
Grade 2 winning novice hurdler who put in a useful display over fences when beating Magic Tricks by 8l in May; not built on that since and was tailed off at Killarney lto (2m1f); needs to bring his A-game. |

11st 9lb |
143-rated hurdler made a winning chase debut at Down Royal in May; mostly disappointing since but has ground and maybe trip on his side here; well handicapped on his hurdles form and might make that count here. |

3rd Oct 2024 Yielding 2m 3f 206y |

Chase winner in March and couple of good runs in that sphere since but his recent hurdling efforts have been moderate and was well held in similar contest at Sligo in June. |

10th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 38y |
11st 2lb |
Three time hurdling winner remains a maiden after three chase starts; beaten a head in a Tipperary novice chase last time (2m3f, good to yielding); not obviously well treated off 120 for handicap chase debut but at least comes into the race in good form; trainer does well here (22-194). |
