Dual 2m hurdles winner was a disappointing favourite on chase debut at Wexford in July after not jumping fluently when last seen; last win in this sphere came in a good ground Thurles handicap last December off 114; returned from a break with a win on the Flat in early July; chance. |

11st 7lb |
Dual 2m hurdles winner last year on good ground (rated 121) and emerged from 156-day absence in fine form to win 1m4f Tramore Flat maiden 15 days ago, making all to beat an odds-on shot decisively; very interesting now sent chasing, handles soft. |

Dual hurdles winner last year on good ground, also fair level of form on the Flat, including runner-up in handicaps at Gowran and Clonmel over 9.5f; absent since February but entitled to be thereabouts if staying this longer trip. |

Won consecutive handicap hurdles in 2024; hit and miss since and one of his best efforts was runner-up at Downpatrick in June; below that twice since and needs a repeat. |

14th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Out of form this year but his run at Downpatrick in June was a positive when a 1.25l second of nine (2m2f, yielding to soft); didn't build on that at Galway last time when well beaten (2m1f, good); different headgear combination tried but needs to bounce back. |

Got back on track with a 1.25l second of 9 at Downpatrick (2m2f, yld-sft) last time out off 119; raised 1lb for that but rider's 5lb claim negates that; well beaten in this last year but claims if backing up that last run. |

Dual-hurdles and chase winner is rated 8lb lower over timber; very comfortable winner of a handicap chase at Kilbeggan in August (2m4f, good to yielding) but unable to follow up back over hurdles off lower mark at Killarney; set a tall task in a Grade 3 chase at Tipperary last time; not out of it at his best but seems to be better over fences. |
