10st 8lb |
Highly tried and has cut little ice, including thrice at Grade 3 level, since winning a 2m novice at Roscommon last summer; appeared to run well behind much higher-rated rivals in conditions contest at Listowel last time, but marksman left him alone; capable of being competitive in first handicap. |

Has won a maiden hurdle and a novice chase; has looked a bit outclassed in Grade 3s in his last three races and a similar scenario seems likely in this company (well behind Jesse Evans last time). |

Sole hurdles win came over a year ago at Clonmel (2m4f) off 111; tried several times in claiming hurdles this year, notably C&D second in May, reportedly found to have blood in nostrils last month when just fair fifth in Downpatrick handicap; has to be treated with some caution but down to a nice mark. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |

Sole win over hurdles came in a Clonmel handicap last June off 111; has slumped in the ratings and failed to exploit her reduced mark (97) when fifth at Clonmel 13 days ago; however, he is closely matched with Redwood Queen on running in a claimer at Tramore last month. |

Took runner-up spot at Kilbeggan on second hurdle start (2m1f, yielding) and caught the eye of the stewarsd at last year's festival here ; tailed off at Naas in November and pulled up at Cork (2m4f, soft to heavy) on handicap bow; this is weak, so she's in the mix, but others preferred. |
