2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 118y |
10st 13lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner; beaten 3l when runner up behind Salvator Mundi in Grade 2 novice at this track (2m1f, soft) in January 2025; no show in two heavy ground Grade 3s on first two runs this term; fine effort in Martin Pipe off 137 on latest and effectively 6lb lower here with rider's claim; chance but forecast rain a concern. |

Lightly raced 6yo who had form figures of 112 prior to a stiffer task (well held) in the Turners at this meeting last year; faces a more suitable assignment returned to Cheltenham and may improve sharply on his couple of fifth-place finishes at Grade 3 level (2m) this term; interesting. |

French bumper winner had a light novice hurdle campaign last season, winning Cork maiden on debut before decent second (having been hampered) in Grade 2 Punchestown novice but never sighted in 2m5f Turners at Cheltenham; returns with a bit to prove but remains relatively unexposed. |

2m maiden win here last August (good) remains his only success in 11 over hurdles; debuted hood (retained here) possibly behind a better round of jumping than he sometimes manages around sharp tracks when going close off today's mark at Newton Abbot last month; place claims in same mood. |

Second over hurdles at Auteuil in March 2024; ran only twice last season; shaped well at Leopardstown last December on reappearance; appeared not to stay the near-2m3f trip at Naas in January; got his career back on track when winning a 23-runner maiden hurdle at Navan in March. |

A long time since his last win, under Keane at the Curragh in 2023 off 13lb higher (1m2f, soft to heavy); not far away again under Keane last summer at Cork (1m4f, good); form since then has been poor, but interesting that Keane is aboard again now. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
100-1 and borderline tailed off in a Cork maiden hurdle in December 2024 but he subsequently turned into a quality bumper performer and has taken it up a notch since resuming career over hurdles, unbeaten in four including Navan Grade 3 (2m, soft to heavy) in November and when repeating forcing tactics in Naas Grade 1 (2m4f, soft; Sortudo second, Saint Baco behind) two months ago; won't find it easy to dominate this field but his gritty attitude was admirable last time and he likely won't go down without a fight. |

26th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 156y |

Good form in winning two of his three bumpers, posting an RPR of 121 on the second occasion; surpassed that figure in a maiden hurdle at Listowel (2m, yielding), hammering a subsequent winner in the process; has further to go here but looks a smart prospect. |

A 110-rated hurdler has won his last two starts in that sphere, including a handicap here (2m1f, gd-yld) off 96; this longer trip fine and he's of obvious interest on chase debut. |

Watch the weather as this 5yo seemed to improve for the drier ground (good to yielding) when justifying market confidence off 7lb lower at Tipperary (2m1f; made all); clear claims should conditions remain suitable, especially as he's off the same mark if factoring in jockey's claim. |
