5th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
The winner of two of his six starts for this stable, most recently at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) in March off 4lb lower, but didn't quite match that level when fourth (2m4f, good) at Plumpton last month; may need to find more but likely to be in the mix. |

7yo who has a fair bit of experience but has been progressive for a new yard this term, making it two wins from his last three runs (2m3f/2m5f, good/good to soft) when scoring at Warwick last time; entitled to respect. |

Ran creditably on bare figures last time when bidding for an Ascot double; only 1-14 under rules compared to 2-3 in points but may still have more to offer for current yard. |

20th Apr 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 0y |

Placed twice in bumpers and in a maiden hurdle; best effort in this sphere a 2.5l second behind the now 127 rated Blaze The Way at Thurles (2m, heavy) last March; off since third of 14 in maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe in August; chance if he's fit for his return and yard have a good strike rate in bumpers. |

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. |

Sole success a maiden hurdle win at Clonmel in October 2024; ran respectably back there in March (2m3f, soft) when an 8l second of 15; tailed off twice since; revival needed. |

15th Jul 2024 Good 2m 2f 165y |

Belied long odds when running a nice race in a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle on debut; proved it was no flash in the pan when in the process of producing another big effort when coming down at the last back at same on second start; favourite but tapped for toe at a crucial stage before staying on best into second in a Kilbeggan bumper latest; extra yardage here a bonus. |
