11st 6lb |
Dual-purpose gelding who is consistent in the main and he was returning from a lengthy break when never that competitive at Punchestown a month ago; perhaps a shade high in the weights, even if he can return to best. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 12lb |
Killarney handicap hurdle winner in August (2m1f, good) off 113; fairly consistent hurdles/Flat form afterwards and recorded a third Flat win at Dundalk when last seen in December; this ground suits. |

Dual-purpose; 1-13 over hurdles, the win coming in a Killarney handicap (2m1f, good) off 6lb lower in August; beaten 11l off revised mark at Listowel in September; okay run on the Flat at Thurles on latest; career best required off this mark. |

Weighed in light when down the field in a claimer last time out; best efforts have come over a fair bit further than this and hard to recommend on recent form. |

Gained just second win from 39 starts when springing 50-1 shock in 7f course claimer in December; creditable efforts in two handicaps here since for new yard; below best on softish ground at Leopardstown eight days ago but player back on this surface. |

Both wins have come over 1m at Dundalk; joined this stable after a below-par run on soft ground in a Tipperary claimer in May; faded on yard debut at Dundalk; this surface should be fine for him, trip may be inadequate. |

Gained his first win on turf when landing a handicap at Bath (1m, good) this month and followed up there over 1m2f (firm; made all) six days ago; holds good claims dropping back in trip under a 4lb penalty but any rain probably won't be ideal. |
