25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
11st 6lb |
Won first two chases in the autumn, including a Grade 3 at Cork; jumping left him down in novice handicap at Cheltenham; faded in the straight when behind He's Gorgeous at Punchestown and question mark over his stamina for this trip. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time winning hurdler in 2024; immediate winner over fences at Galway (2m2f, yielding) before following up in a Cork Grade 3 novice (2m4f, good to yielding) next time, with You Oughta Know 2.75l behind in second; poor effort in Grade 1 company in November at Fairyhouse; never on terms after a bad mistake at the fifth at Cheltenham when last seen; tough task conceding weight all round. |

Returns from a layoff, having shown all of his chase form in the autumn, winning twice (including 2m4f Grade 3) prior to a form-dip in Fairyhouse Grade 1; needs to resume progress but has big-field handicap experience, namely a good effort over hurdles at the 2025 Dublin Racing Festival; cheekpieces added. |

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. |
9/2 |

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. |
8/1 |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 211y |
11st 9lb |
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. |

Course bumper winner is 0-10 over timber; went close on the Flat behind stablemate Pralognan at Newcastle last time out; ground (sft-hvy) was a valid excuse when pulling up at Fairyhouse on her last run over timber; conditions more suitable now; could go well. |

11st 9lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner is 0-6 over fences; ran well in a beginners' here in November but beaten 21l and pulled up in first two handicap chases at Punchestown and Cheltenham; others have more appealing profiles. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
7yo who is lightly raced over fences and represents top Irish yard; went close at Fairyhouse in November on second chase start but his form has gone the wrong way since and he was soundly beaten at Punchestown last month in his first handicap chase; ninth in the Pertemps Final here last March. |

Bumper winner; failed to add to a maiden hurdle win; remote third behind top-class stablemate Romeo Coolio on chase debut at Down Royal; went close in less demanding company over 2m4f at Fairyhouse; has failed to build on that in races at Leopardstown and Navan; cheekpieces fitted for handicap debut. |

11st 5lb |
Career highlights when winning back-to-back handicap hurdles at Gowran and Punchestown in November 2024; a long way below his best in a light 2025 campaign that included two poor runs over fences; well held by Theflyingbee on Punchestown running. |

C&D win in November 2024 (soft) was a second hurdling success; didn't set the world alight in subsequent runs including when well beaten at the festival here last season; reverts to hurdles after two poor chase runs this term; needs to bounce back to form. |

29th Dec 2024 Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Gained first win over hurdles in a Ballinrobe (22.5f, good) maiden in May; may have needed the run when never sighted in a Grade 3 novice at Cork on his seasonal reappearance; should strip fitter and could go well on handicap debut. |

4th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 20y |

Maiden hurdle winner for Gavin Cromwell in May 2024 (good to yielding); showed nothing for new yard in four chase starts but kept on well to win a Clonmel claiming hurdle six days ago (2m1f, heavy) by 1.75l; entitled to win that day on the weightings and nice weight here as well given his rating of 113. |

Touched off in a 3m Listed handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (heavy) in February off 121; made amends in a mares' handicap chase at Navan (20.5f, sft-hvy) later that month, winning readily by 9l; hiked up 10lb to 122 and steps back up in trip; could be more to come. |

Middling runs in two beginners chases; moderate effort back over hurdles in December but ran a career best when beaten a head in a Listed handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival last time (3m, heavy); wore first-time cheekpieces that day, which are now left off; runs off a 10lb lower mark for handicap chase debut; big contender. |

Maiden hurdle win came on good ground over two miles back in November but has won a point-to-point; effectively brought down at the first on penultimate novice hurdle start when sent off at 7-1 (3m1f, good); dropped 2lb for lesser effort latest when finishing a well beaten seventh; trip and ground may aid his chance. |
