Dual-purpose; bolted up in Sligo maiden hurdle last month (2m2f, good); previously soundly beaten over this C&D (gd-yld), extending his Flat record to 0-11; 3lb lower now but others appeal more. |

Back-to-back winner at Ballinrobe in August last year at 2m1f/2m3f on good ground, the second of those by 14l; ran respectably in the Lartigue at Listowel (2m, good to yielding) off 1lb higher when last seen in September; appealing but this is his seasonal return. |

25th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Has improved markedly on last two starts, winning Ballinrobe handicap hurdles over 2m-2m2f; won by a wide margin last time and raised 11lb but has to be considered again despite a rise in class. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 60y |
10st 10lb |
Improver since entering handicap ranks, plenty keen when rallying second at Killarney (yielding-to-soft) and handled good ground well here earlier this month, leading early on, not fluent last but finding plenty run-in to win comfortably; type to keep improving (7lb higher) and slightly longer trip to suit. |

Off the mark on last start over timber at Kilbeggan (2m3f, gd-yld) off 96; hiked up 9lb for that and this trip and softer ground are queries; beaten off basement mark on the Flat here 23 days ago; a bit to prove in this tougher race. |

107-rated hurdler won a maiden in that sphere last summer; ordinary enough Flat form and doubt dropping back from last two runs over 1m4f will be the answer. |

Maiden hurdle winner last year has run well enough in four Flat starts including on AW when trained in Britain; fair bit to find with Sir Callisto on recent C&D run, although that was seasonal debut so could improve; hood now re-fitted. |

Won off 5lb lower here in May (2m3f, good to yielding); bounced back from two below-par efforts to finish a 3.75l third at Sligo last time (2m5f, good); return to this venue and application of a tongue tie may get a bit more from him. |

Gained his second win over hurdles when landing 2m3f Downpatrick handicap in May; withdrawn twice on good ground before allowed to take his chance at Galway last week but never counted on similar ground when midfield over 2m; back up in trip here, any easing in the ground would help his chances. |

Finally got off the mark in Wexford handicap (2m4f) last month, appreciating good ground to win going away in beating a strong favourite; wellbeing confirmed when headed close home at Sligo (20.5f) off 3lb higher mark; major player if ground remains in his favour; stable in form. |

Soundly beaten at big odds in handicap hurdles at this venue (11th of 12 finishers) and Sligo (last of 16) before showing dramatic improvement to win at Wexford last Friday; trainer suggested that the removal of a hood might have been a major factor; hard to find any positives in last season's form in Flat maidens; good Flat pedigree, unwise to discount. |
