Consistent gelding over fences and hurdles, better as a chaser; placed on all three starts over hurdles since a handicap chase win at the Listowel festival; touched off at Limerick last time; up 3lb but still 12lb below his chase mark; strong contender. |

Winner of a 2m5f Roscommon handicap hurdle in 2024 off 92; okay efforts in his opening two runs this season but recent runs are below that level; this is just his second chase start, with his only other seeing him tailed off at Clonmel in a 2024 handicap. |

A record of 1-11 over hurdles, with that win coming at Roscommon in September (2m5f, yielding) in first-time blinkers off 92; made a pleasing seasonal debut at Punchestown and a 6l sixth at Limerick was satisfactory (2m6f, soft to heavy); disappointed at Fairyhouse last time; in the mix if bouncing back. |
