Easy winner at Chepstow (2m, good) last October and he took a big step back in right direction when seventh of 23 in the County at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft); missed the Scottish Champion Hurdle last month due to heavy ground; still only five and he's 1lb lower than in the County; major player. |

Four of his six wins have come at this venue, two over this trip; ran another sound race when splitting Genuine Article and Titanium at the festival; a bit below his best in two more recent runs; could feature back at his favourite track with a valuable 7lb off. |

Sole win came at Galway (7f, yielding to soft) in August 2023 when trained by Dermot Weld; struggled in his first three outings for this yard but shaped more encouragingly at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 88 days ago; had a wind operation two days later and now returns to AW. |

Ex-Irish 5yo; yet to add to his Galway maiden win in summer 2023 and has not threatened on any of three starts for new stable this year (7f-1m); still worth a glance in the betting, though. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Eight-time winner, with six on the Flat and two over hurdles; had some struggles during the winter but he showed signs of a revival at Wolverhampton (fourth of 12) last month and is now 5lb lower than for his win at Nottingham in the autumn (1m2f); handles most ground and has possibilities if he gets a good pace back at this trip. |
