Looked booked for second when presented with victory by the faller of the leader at the last in a handicap chase at Sligo last month; well beaten in a handicap hurdle at the same venue last time; a long time since he won over hurdles. |

Won off 6lb lower at Punchestown last November (24.5f, good); latest third at Killarney was a remote one; best form is on a sound surface so the forecast rain is a worry. |

Won twice in the space of four days over fences in November 2024; came on from return with a 3l defeat at Punchestown last month despite some errors; however, subsequent effort at Tipperary wasn't encouraging; 7lb above last winning mark. |

One of three for trainer; got a first hurdles win at Kilbeggan in April last year off 9lb lower (3m1f, yielding); well beaten on return at Punchestown in May, but that was his first run in nine months, so entitled to come on for it. |

Modest strike rate of 1-21 over fences; took the runner-up spot on consecutive occasions at Limerick and Tramore in April/May, both over 2m6f on good; lesser run back at Tramore when last seen over fences (2m6f, good); poor effort back over hurdles at Limerick earlier this month. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Won a 3m4f handicap chase at Leopardstown in March of last year (yielding); this season hasn't gone so well but it wasn't too bad a run on his return to fences at Downpatrick last time (3m4f; yielding to soft) and unwise to put a line through him. |

Good form last winter, notably winning a 3m4f handicap chase at Leopardstown; struggled in the spring in the Scottish National and in a valuable Punchestown handicap; should be better for a recent hurdles run. |
