26th Jul 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 200y |
10st 9lb |
Gained first win since 2020 in a handicap hurdle at Wexford and shaped like he was worth another go at this sort of trip; recent strike-rate isn't encouraging but 6lb rise is fair and can't be ruled out. |

Sole win from 37 starts (15 over hurdles) came over C&D in December 2024 from 4lb lower; ran well in a Listowel handicap hurdle on stable debut but lesser efforts last two times, including at this venue last time when tenth (1m4f). |

29-race maiden who has struggled back over hurdles in his last two runs; finished second in a classified event at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in January but was beaten 6l and that took his AW record to 0-12; down the list. |

Runner-up on AW last month and now has first hurdle start for current yard; however, that recent Flat form is very modest, he's achieved little in this code, and he's yet to win after 27 attempts (seven over hurdles). |

Flat winner had been disappointing over hurdles, and in a spell point-to-pointing, before being touched off at 66-1 at Down Royal (2m1f, yielding) over Christmas; pulled up over 2m4f back there last month; second runner for yard. |

Form of 122 in points and the form of his 2022 point win worked out nicely; not so much the two 2023 efforts and he was tailed off when making his rules debut last week at 50-1; needs to leave that run behind. |

11st 11lb |
Progressive over hurdles last year, and form went to a new level when a well-backed runner-up on chase debut at Killarney (2m7f, yielding) in October, where he might have won but for a mistake; too keen and didn't get home at Cheltenham later that month; didn't jump so fluently back over hurdles at Cork and was already in trouble when hampered at two out; needs to bounce back. |

Progressive over hurdles this year (2m-2m4f) and form went to new level when runner-up on recent chase debut at Killarney (2m7f, yielding), where he might have won but for a bad mistake two out; the handicapper has reacted but this 6yo could have a big shout for his respected Irish trainer. |
