9st 6lb |
Always behind in his two races this spring (1m2f/1m4f; ended pulled up last time) and last season was a mixed bag; however, his strong-finishing thirds last year in this race (off 1lb lower than today) and another big-field contest at Naas (2m) show that he needs a close look, particularly as some headgear (absent this season) is reinstated. |

Dual-purpose; no win over hurdles since Fairyhouse maiden success in February 2024 (2m, heavy); shaped ok when staying on for 16.5l fifth behind Jacovec Cavern on seasonal return but didn't back it up when 5-1 favourite at Ballinrobe (22.5f, good) latest; stamina to prove now up in trip. |

Beaten a nose here (2m, soft) in September 2024 off 1lb lower and gave further encouragement that year, but that promise has not been fulfilled and his jumps career (latest start two months ago) has gone badly the wrong way; first-time blinkers replace his usual hood. |

Second of three runners for yard; 3yo colt is closely matched with stablemate Chemistry; won a Listed at Leopardstown in June (1m4f, good); not a bad effort in a Group 3 at Newmarket on latest (1m5f, good to soft); didn't look like he was crying out for this sort of trip though and not bred for it either; well-drawn but others preferred. |

11th Jul 2024 Soft 1m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Has raced ten times and is more exposed than his rivals, but it was his first crack at 1m4f when keeping on well for a narrow Listed win at Leopardstown last month (good) and 1m2f looked inadequate at Royal Ascot most recently; versatile ground-wise; not discounted now up in trip. |

Fourth in Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) before Listed win at Leopardstown (1m4f, good); that was his ninth race and others are less exposed and have stronger form, but he's the sole runner for Aidan O'Brien who has won two of the last six runnings, so is worth a second look. |

Can make the running; superb 2022-23 season was his best over hurdles/fences, including big-field wins at the Cheltenham and Punchestown festivals; a 10yo before his attentions were turned to the Flat and he won twice (2m1f/1m6f) last August/September; the five good handicaps since, however, have seen him comfortably held (last four were over fences); off since April; today's hood is his first ever headgear. |

Second runner for stable; formerly trained by Willie Mullins; best effort in eight starts for current yard a 8.75l seventh behind a few of his rivals here in the Q.R. race at Galway; burst blood vessels on latest start at Tramore; coming down the weights but yard has a better chance with Seddon. |

Looked to be on the slide until running well when seventh of 20 in the big amateur handicap at Galway where headgear (left off here) seemed to help; pulled up over hurdles later that week; first visit here. |
