28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A recent trip to France for a claiming hurdle was unsuccessful but he ran well in defeat on latest Flat start, at Musselburgh (1m6f, good) last month; unraced on ground quicker than good but has possibilities if he copes with the conditions; swaps usual cheekpieces for refitted blinkers. |

2nd May 2025 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual-purpose performer who has a poor strike-rate for one with his ability, but he was a 1l second here (2m, good) on April 2 then faded when tackling 2m2f at Pontefract six days later; leading claims back down in trip. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 55y |
11st 12lb |
French recruit won 2m maiden in French provinces (soft) before joining top jumps yard; sent off favourite for novice hurdle at Galway summer festival on sole start for Willie Mullins when beaten 11l into fourth by smart winner; jumped nicely there; major player if ready to do himself justice on back of big absence. |

French recruit for last year's winning yard; hard to weigh up the form of his 2m Nort-Sur-Edre win but likely to be well schooled and fit for his first run over hurdles; should go well. |

11st 12lb |
Winning hurdler caught the eye when falling at the last in a decent Punchestown novice in November (2m1f, good); shaped as though needing the run on handicap chase debut at Tipperary last month; Donoghue takes over and steps up in trip; claims for in form yard. |

Flat/hurdles winner was huge eyecatcher on his third chase start when a faller at the last at Punchestown (16.5f, good) in November, closing on the leaders at the time; opening mark in this sphere looks fair; on the shortlist. |

Showed a bit of potential in bumpers at Lingfield (AW) and Haydock earlier this year; not a bad effort behind Feud in a novice hurdle at Galway last week; has a chance now back in a bumper. |

6-1, fared best of the newcomers when 13l fourth of 13 on debut at Lingfield (2m, AW) in January; that form has worked out well and this Irish raider is open to improvement on his second start; one to consider. |
