15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Back down in grade with blinkers tried he registered a second chase win when 6l to the good at Bangor (2m4f, good); 6lb rise has elevated him to a career-high mark but it was comfortable last time. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in January when wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained) and subsequent defeats have come in better races than this; didn't run at all badly in the latest at Kelso (2m5f); back down in grade and with blinkers given a go, he's feared. |

Won at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in January when wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained) on his third chase start; disappointing since but this 5yo isn't written off today; won on good to soft ground on the Flat. |

11st 0lb |
Sixth foal; half-brother to four winners including connections' smart hurdler Nemean Lion; dam Listed-placed 1m1f winner (93); bought for 38,000gns in May; good market support will need to be heeded. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
10st 12lb |
Off the mark in a Roscommon maiden hurdle last September (15.5f, gd-yld); respectable run on handicap debut here in November (19.5f, heavy) but disappointed in a stronger race at Limerick (2m, sft-hvy) when last seen; may do better back on a sounder surface. |

29th Sep 2025 Yielding 1m 7f 135y |
11st 7lb |
Is 0-9 on Flat and 0-3 over hurdles for Alan King, though his Flat form was useful; finished third of 20 on debut for Willie Mullins when made favourite for a handicap hurdle at Galway; good chance. |

3rd 20 |
28th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 130y |
11st 3lb |
Ex-Alan King, 0-9 on Flat, 0-3 over hurdles; went very close in a 1m6f handicap at Sandown a year ago; hurdles form is undeniably modest but chance has to be taken seriously on debut for Willie Mullins. |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Has failed to build on an encouraging reappearance at Ffos Las in October, finishing tailed off in November and pulled up the following month; absent since, but returns on a handy mark, albeit with something to prove. |

4th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-6 over hurdles but shaped well and made quite encouraging reappearance at Ffos Las (2m, good) last month; 4lb lower here and can feature if that run brought him on. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Flat winner but he's 0-9 over hurdles and has been beaten 17l or more in four handicaps (2m1f-3m) since November; mark continues to fall but he needs the cheekpieces to make a difference on this drop back in trip. |
20/1 |

27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Flat winner but hardly progressing over hurdles (0-8) and this longer trip is a change in direction. |
