Maiden/novice wins during the summer of 2024; mostly disappointing since then, fell at Thurles when last seen in January; makes stable debut. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
4-6 over hurdles, with three of those wins coming here, latest when making all off 1lb lower over C&D (good) in July 2025; low-mileage 7yo who remains open to improvement and has a good record fresh, albeit never after an absence this long; leading contender. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Didn't take to fences when tailed off on his penultimate run but he then made all for a 5l defeat of Ukantango over C&D to make it 3-5 over hurdles; a 5lb rise is fair enough with the promise of more to come. |

Progressive 6yo gained a third Kilbeggan win in May before landing C&D handicap success following month (Chanceawetmorning a disappointing favourite); Bellewstown run was disappointing but has to be respected on overall profile. |

Best of three chase runs was the first at Kilbeggan last year, when sixth of 13; beaten 24l at Clonmel in October off 1lb higher on handicap chase debut; two starts over hurdles since not too encouraging. |

Won second race over hurdles when landing a handicap at Listowel (2m2f, gd-yld) in September; below best twice since, in a handicap chase at Clonmel and a handicap hurdle on heavy at Limerick in December; off since and record fresh suggests he might need this run. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Mild bumper promise in Britain as a 5yo but interrupted hurdles campaign for current yard, absent since tailed off in Listowel maiden last September; likely best watched on handicap debut after such an absence, although encouraging jockey booking and worth a market check. |

Largely consistent hurdler, latest win came at Limerick (16.5f, good) in handicap off 102, bolted up by 15l; couldn't land a blow off 12lb higher lto; plenty on plate on chase debut; cheekpieces tried. |

Series of placed efforts (including twice here) rewarded by 2m1f Limerick win early last month under enterprising ride, kept wide and making all in beating Dairy Force an eased 15l (good); 12lb hike makes this a lot tougher and unlikely to be given such leeway this time. |

A dual C&D winner, his trainer's local track; last year's form also included a second placing behind Cornmarket over C&D; probably needed the run here in May, and was much improved when winning in June; up 5lb for that; deserves respect. |
