Winless in 31 attempts hurdling; 3-35 over fences, with two of those at Tramore; flopped when well fancied for course handicap hurdle in February; fair fifth over fences at Tramore last month. |

3-34 over fences, with two of those successes coming at this track, including when 33-1 chance in this race in 2023; creditable third in a 2m7f handicap chase here on New Year's Day; flopped when well fancied for a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time. |

10th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 0y |

Is 3-34 over fences; veteran's recent form is solid, featuring a third placing over C&D last month and a third in a handicap chase at Tramore on New Year's Day; 0-30 record over hurdles is a significant negative; rider's claim is an asset. |

Veteran with poor strike rate, but has found a bit of form lately culminating in a win over nearly 3m at Downpatrick; a quick look at his lengthy race record reveals that he hardly ever runs left-handed, though, which has to be a for a reason. |

Added a chase win to his brace of hurdle successes when winning at Kilbeggan in August (3m2f, good to yielding); ran respectably next time at Ballinrobe (2m7f, soft); tailed off at Killarney when last seen in October; reverts to hurdles now, and chance at his best. |

Hurdle winner at this track and opened his chase account with a neck success at Kilbeggan three weeks ago; may have won by further without an error in the closing stages and 5lb rise looks workable. |

Belatedly off the mark last month in 3m1f Roscommon handicap chase (good) in first-time tongue-tie, her first attempt at the trip; has to be of interest back hurdling at the same distance, though tongue-tie left off today. |

Some decent placed form over fences last year, most notably when 6.5l second to Kyle Valley at Tramore (2m6f, yld) in handicap chase off 79 in May; proved he's in good heart when runner-up in point-to-point last month so he could figure. |
