13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Raced 11 times over hurdles and plenty of experience is never a bad thing in this race; however, he's won only three of those and finished tailed off behind Doctor Steinberg when 40-1 last time; tongue-tie enlisted. |

2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 53y |
11st 10lb |
Won a 3m Wexford handicap (good) off a modest 98 last July; beaten off 12lb higher at Listowel before making spectacular progress to achieve a mark of 135 as a result of a pair of 3m wins at Cork; those were on good/yielding, and these conditions are not certain to suit; if he handles it, stamina will not be a issue. |

Breakthrough last to first win over C&D on penultimate but failed to replicate it under similar tactics at Kilbeggan off 5lb higher; needs things to fall just right. |

16th Jun 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 100y |

Placed form in maidens in 2023 over shorter trips; did not appear in 2024; no show over 2m2f at this venue before profiting from a step up to 3m at Wexford; could be in the mix again off 5lb higher. |

Two Flat wins on AW; no doubts about fitness after three recent runs on the Flat; hurdles mark is based on three 2021/22 outings; getting on in years but could be a dark horse. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 5f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Both wins on AW; returned from absence with moderate effort over C&D but improved effort four days later when 3.5l behind Omakase at Gowran (short of room late on); has to enter calculations 11lb better off factoring in rider's claims. |

21st May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 100y |

Both wins on AW and well held behind Makaiah on Saturday; entitled to come on for that but it's a quick turnaround; possible a return to further will help though. |

Maiden ran well when a 1.75l runner up at Limerick (2m6f, good) in May and again when third at Kilbeggan (3m, good) in June; has to bounce back from a poor effort at the latter venue on latest though. |

Belatedly off the mark at Thurles in February in an amateur handicap chase (soft to heavy), winning going away on only his third run over fences; reverts to hurdles after pulled up at Limerick last time and record of 0-21 is off-putting. |
