29th Mar 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Useful seven-time Flat winner (six in France); won off mark of 87 over this trip at Leopardstown (heavy) in October; ran three times over hurdles subsequently, well beaten on each occasion; tailed off over C&D 13 days ago; work to do. |

Useful seven-time Flat winner (six in France); scoring off mark of 87 over this trip at Leopardstown last October; seventh of 17 behind today's rival Rhythm King over C&D on final start; ran three times over hurdles subsequently, failing to build on a promising first run. |

11st 12lb |
Useful seven-time Flat winner (six in France), scoring off mark of 87 at Leopardstown in October (1m, heavy); shaped encouragingly on hurdles debut when fifth at Cork behind Kappa Jy Pyke; less promise when well held at Tramore 11 days ago so needs more. |

29th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Irish-trained 7yo who was very consistent in defeat in the second half of last year (including on yielding ground) and he reappeared with a win in the 27-runner Irish Lincolnshire at the Curragh (1m, soft) a fortnight ago; carries a 5lb penalty today and could be involved once more. |

Lightly-raced sort; won 6f Cork maiden last April on good ground and returned there to exploit reduced mark in 1m handicap in October; possibly unsuited by heavy on final start. |

Dual Roscommon winner last year (including on heavy); down the field in Irish Cambridgeshire and most recently disappointed behind Titanium when sent off favourite for 1m Leopardstown handicap in October; others preferred off this mark. |

Four-time winner; last victory came on penultimate start at the Curragh off 80 (1m, good); no impact off revised rating back there on latest start (2.25l behind Narmar); remains 3lb above his last winning mark and others have more pressing claims. |

16th Mar 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Reeled off a hat-trick last summer and better again in defeat in a conditions event at Galway in September; 2l behind Orandi when third at Listowel; later struggled in testing ground in a Leopardstown event in which Orandi was second. |

3rd 2 (8) |
24th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Racked up a hat-trick of wins in July and August; winning run halted in a rated race when second at Galway on latest and up another 4lb for that run; should go well again but might be vulnerable for win purposes from a wide draw off a career-high mark. |
