4th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Started last season with a second placing behind Fleur In The Park in a maiden hurdle at Wexford; easy winner at Tipperary on his next start and showed decent form when raised in class; ended the campaign with a creditable fourth placing in the Martin Pipe; has the makings of a useful chaser. |

14th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Last two efforts (2m; latest under Mike O'Connor) suggest he'll relish this step back up in distance; solid form in two attempts over 2m4f, winning Tipperary maiden (soft) then good second in Leopardstown handicap (good to yielding); interesting, with a resumption of progress on the cards. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 211y |

Second in a point-to-point; won a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Tipperary by 9l on second racecourse start; creditable second in a 2m4f Leopardstown handicap after Christmas; 2m trip looked a bit sharp when he finished third at Navan, roughly 3l behind C'Est Ta Chance; similar concern here. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 75y |
11st 4lb |
Beat the talented Storm Heart in a valuable DRF handicap hurdle in 2024; maiden over fences; seventh when well fancied for a Cheltenham handicap; suffered interference off the home turn, might have finished closer; addition of tongue-tie may help. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Reached his peak over hurdles when winning a valuable race at Leopardstown (2m, soft) last February but finished last in the County Hurdle here next time; the type to make a chaser and, after a laboured effort on his handicap chase debut at Naas, he fared better in a Down Royal novice in January; needs to show his jumping can hold up under pressure but this trip should suit better than the 2m he's been running over and plenty of potential remains. |
9/2 |

20th Jan 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 115y |
12st 0lb |
Very useful (133-rated) hurdler whose two wins last season included very valuable Leopardstown handicap; more of a slow-burner over fences this term, Fairyhouse beginners' third his best run; let down by jumping against more experienced rivals in handicap on latest when never landing a blow at Naas; back in novice grade and Mark Walsh remains loyal. |

One of two for yard; distant third of 20 on yard debut at Tipperary (2m4f) and tailed off when odds-on for subsequent maiden hurdle at that venue; underwhelming next time at Clonmel before pulling up at Punchestown on handicap debut; plenty of questions to answer. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Initially disappointing for new stable this year but easily landed gamble in Bangor handicap (2m7f, good) in March, and did not need to be at same level to justify skinny odds in Uttoxeter novice (2m7f, good) this month; has a big penalty but should still be hard to beat. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Miles clear with one other when beaten just over 1l in a Market Rasen 0-125 handicap latest (3m, good; RPR 118), and this novice contest isn't anywhere near as deep; yet to register form of that calibre with give underfoot, but possible he could get away with it here even if rain arrives. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
The same combination of a sharp track, good ground and stayers' trip of his peak Irish effort similarly worked the oracle at Bangor last time; a 9lb re-raise demands another big step forward, though that's not impossible having won with far more in hand than the near-3l verdict may infer. |

Maiden hurdler with uneven form; definite player judged on runner-up finishes at Limerick and Punchestown this season; the form of the latter has worked out well as the third Live To Laugh has won twice since; ran below market expectations at Limerick three weeks ago but big player if he takes to fences. |

In the form of his life and seeking a hat-trick, following wins at Limerick and when beating Femme Magnifique decisively at Wexford last month (good); 2lb wrong here, but talented rider's claim offsets that; big player again, although may need to jump better now raised in class. |
