Hadn't shown much form over hurdles or fences until landing 2m5f Sligo handicap in August, appreciating soft ground when coming from off the pace; absent since but goes well fresh and conditions to suit off 7lb higher. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Ex-Irish 6yo; built upon encouraging stable debut (over hurdles) when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month and bettered that form when clear second to an improver at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) a few days later; can cope if there's rain about; good chance. |

Scored over fences for Shark Hanlon in August 2025 but lost his way subsequently; back to his best on his second start for his current yard when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last Tuesday; shouldered with a 7lb penalty but will be suited by the step up in trip and holds claims. |

Three-time winner but nothing since March 2024 when he won a heavy ground handicap chase at Limerick off 94 (3m1f); wasn't shaping like a winner in waiting towards the end of last season; needs to find his form but perhaps the break has done him good. |

Both hurdle wins have been at 3m on decent ground, including at Clonmel last October; not so effective in a couple of recent attempts chasing but in between went down by only a neck (clear of remainder) to a well-handicapped sort in 3m Cork handicap hurdle; drying ground to suit and one for the shortlist. |
