20th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 0y |
10st 6lb |
Veteran has won five times (four over fences) but he has failed to fire in a handicap hurdle and a handicap chase since returning from a 320 day break; remains 8lb above sole hurdles win; others appeal more. |

12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 48y |
11st 5lb |
Wide margin winner over fences at Tipperary in July 2024 and won over timber here in the interim; likely needed his return at Wexford and while he was beaten a long way out, he won second time out when returned to chasing last term; 2m1f is the main concern for this veteran. |

One win from 20 starts over hurdles; that win came over 2m4f at Punchestown on heavy ground in February last year off 78; good effort when third of 24 at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day (2m4f, yielding) but way below that level at Navan; a little hard to trust. |

Has a liking for Ayr with two of his three chase wins coming there, including in February (3m, soft); that win came after a moderate season; lacked the pace at an important stage at Sedgefield last time (3m3f, good); needs to do it away from Ayr. |
