Two-time winner over hurdles; rated 12lb lower over fences and deservedly so on the book; remains capable of much better. |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 1f 24y |
10st 4lb |
Two-time winning hurdler rated 10lb higher in that sphere but that is for a reason; heavy defeats in all five chase starts and best form on good ground so the forecast rain is a worry; others appeal more. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |

Useful hurdler, latest win came off 124 in handicap at Downpatrick in June; nothing of real note in five chase starts since, well beaten over 3m at Down Royal 195 days ago; needs a lot more after break, but hasn't been out of the first three in as many starts here. |

Progressive handicap hurdler last season took his mark to 125 after wins over 2m4f at Navan and Fairyhouse (heavy); 2m trip inadequate here on final start in March; upped in trip for chase debut and could go well if taking to fences. |
