11st 12lb |
Point and two-time hurdles winner is 0-7 in chases; ran well when a close third at Navan in December and 1lb lower now but tailed off at Fairyhouse last time and needs to bounce back. |

10st 13lb |
Two-time winner over hurdles; won easily off 9lb lower at Fairyhouse in November (20.5f, yld-sft); ran better than the bare result off this mark at Punchestown latest (raced wide); best form on soft, however, so could do with plenty of rain. |

Won off 4lb lower at Killarney in May, his last run on yielding ground; not as good the last twice on good ground but the return to an easier surface offers hope of an improved run. |

17th Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 0y |

Top-rated of the four holding a mark; ran on well to take third in a Punchestown handicap hurdle in April (2m3f, yielding); stepped up in trip and denied by a nose when slightly hampered at the last fence back at that track last time (2m7f, good to yielding); the trip of this race is up his alley. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 116y |

Showed ability fourth in a heavy ground maiden hurdle at this venue in February (reportedly coughed post race); comes into the reckoning on the evidence of his staying-on run in the final of the Adare Manor Opportunity Series at the festival meeting; enough stamina in the pedigree to encourage support. |

Useful staying novice chaser last season, notably looking home and hosed until worn down late by Jumping Jet in this race off 128 (good); out of form over fences so far this season, never competitive at Punchestown last time; return to better ground should suit. |
