5th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 40y |
11st 3lb |
Bumper and chase winner; maiden over hurdles; big chance despite having gone up 5lb for his second placing behind the David Pipe-trained Thanksforthehelp at the Punchestown festival; looks the pick of his trainer's three runners. |

Career best when landing a beginners' at Downpatrick last month; too keen at Fairyhouse last week but looks well treated from his reduced hurdle mark back in handicap company and has to be high on the shortlist. |

Dual hurdle winner is rated 128 but was below form in that sphere on last two starts; beaten 17l on chasing debut but that was a stronger race than this; seems yard's second-string, though. |

Three wins over hurdles last term and is rated 122 in that sphere; has had jumping issues over fences and been way below that level; first-time blinkers need to work. |

Won a maiden hurdle and a novice hurdle last term; well held in two chase starts so far but step up in trip should help. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Smart 134-rated novice hurdler last season, twice a winner on heavy ground including a wide-margin success over 2m4f at this track; down the field in the Coral Cup; veterinary excuses when ending the season on a low note at Fairyhouse; made no impact on chasing debut at Tipperary three months ago and will probably need to pick up more experience. |

Wide-margin winner of a 2m3f handicap hurdle at this venue in December 2023; too high in the ratings following a 17lb rise to 122; huge odds when in rear on chasing/seasonal debut at Fairyhouse. |

Point, bumper and maiden hurdle winner who wasn't disgraced in graded company over timber a couple of seasons ago; missed last term, tailed off over timber on return and beaten a distance in a beginners' on chase debut last month; questions to answer now. |

Grade 3-placed hurdler hasn't been near that level in three chase starts, beaten 28l in a near 3m novice here last time; needs to do better dropping into handicaps but possible he could. |

26th Apr 2025 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced 8yo; jumping was a major issue on his first two starts over fences but some improvement when he won a 2m4f beginners chase at Naas seven weeks ago, rallying extremely well; favourite for the Scottish National (4m) a fortnight ago but he didn't settle in front and subsided into seventh; today's hood could help with that and he may still bring potential. |

Off the mark over fences at the sixth attempt in a Tipperary beginners' earlier this month (23.5f, gd-yld); form of previous 2.25l second behind Lombron at Clonmel is strong; not discounted back in a handicap for last year's winning yard. |
