11st 12lb |
1-17 over timber and rated 109; always behind when beaten 77l on sole chase start at Leopardstown in March (21.5f, yielding); mid-field in Punchestown handicap hurdle latest; others make more appeal. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 110y |
10st 0lb |
Second runner for local yard; sole win came here over 2m4f (yld-sft) in January 2025; below par this season until producing a fine run to finish a close third at Cork (2m4f, yielding) in first-time cheekpieces (discarded); 3lb wrong here but rider's claim negates that; can't be discounted. |

Just one win in 24, and Ffos Las near-miss on second outing for current handler likely owed something to the drop to 0-105 company (3m, heavy); limitations exposed again since and this is tougher still. |
