22nd Jul 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 41y |

Not a lot of encouragement to take from three starts in maidens; not obviously well treated for handicap debut; yard had a winner on the Flat last week but likely best watched. |

10st 6lb |
Stepped up from previous form when a 12.5l seventh of 20 at Punchestown (2m4f, gd-yld) 12 days ago, making late gains from the rear; down 1lb and could challenge for a place if building on that. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 219y |
11st 5lb |
Point-to-point winner; won over 3m on handicap hurdle debut at Wexford in August; soundly beaten off revised mark at the same venue, but had an excuse (kicked at the start); more like it when third over 2m7f at Killarney recently, worth considering on chase debut; reserve. |
|
|
8th 3 |
29th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 100y |
11st 6lb |
Point-to-point winner with ordinary maiden hurdle form but immediate impact in handicaps (well-backed) when winning here three weeks ago over 3m, seeing it out well; 6lb rise offset by claimer here and very much of interest, despite drop in trip. |
5/1 |

1st 6 |
8th Aug 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |

Point-to-point winner has struggled in three maiden hurdles at 2m3f-3m; probably best watched in first handicap unless the market suggests otherwise. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Irish point winner who was placed in maiden hurdles for Paul Nolan; had pulled himself to the front when falling four out in a Ffos Las maiden in February; perhaps fences will settle him down and ability is much respected; handicap debut. |
13/8 |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Irish point winner (soft to heavy) who later made the frame in maiden hurdles for Paul Nolan; led early but faded into a remote fourth on yard debut at Ludlow last month (2m5f, good to soft); that race was won by a potential top-notcher and this 6yo should improve. |
7/2 |
|
4th 6 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |

Won on Irish point debut in April 2024 and made the frame in three big-field Irish maiden hurdles (2m-2m4f) for Paul Nolan last spring, albeit his latest run was slightly disappointing; makes stable debut after 229-day break but has strong claims if fully tuned up. |

Beaten 20l when second of 8 on handicap debut after a 255 day absence at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy); should strip fitter now and step up in trip looks a plus on breeding; not without a chance. |

Bumper winner took a 2m4f Punchestown maiden hurdle last autumn but was then poor twice after; his yard is in better form now but he has plenty to find on chasing debut with some of these rivals. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y |

Ran well in defeat in multiple maidens and novices for Philip Rothwell; best efforts have come over 3m-3m1f so not sure this trip will suit but he's top rated at 112 and he should still go well on stable debut. |

Good start for Olly Murphy when showing a smart turn of foot to win Grade 2 Persian War (novice) at Chepstow (2m3f, good; hooded) in October; hasn't reproduced that in his two subsequent starts, latest when well beaten behind Wilful on Ascot handicap debut, but given a break (had wind surgery) and returns with a tongue-tie added. |

Never that dangerous in three Irish bumpers but has improved for hurdles, doubling his tally in a 2m Listed race on good ground at Galway's feature summer fixture; posted an eyecatching RPR and has since joined Olly Murphy who fits a hood; respected. |

Stepped up in trip to win 2m4f Listowel maiden in May (good) and better form week later in 2m1f Punchestown novice when staying-on second to Timeless Treaty, having been slowly away; probably wants a stiffer test so a strong pace would suit. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 100y |

Best of six point starts was a 5l third; tailed off in two maiden hurdles before outrunning his odds of 125-1 to finish a good fourth at Cork last time (2m2f, good); that was a big improvement on all previous form and hard to know if he can repeat it. |
