15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Two hurdle wins came on good in 2024 and he's 0-7 since switching to chasing but has been placed five times, best effort coming over this course and distance a year ago when second in competitive handicap off 133; bit disappointing as odds-on fav when beaten 12l 25 days ago but should come on for that and has an experience edge. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |
11st 12lb |
Both hurdle wins came on good ground at about 2m; yet to score in six starts over fences but rated 11lb higher in this sphere courtesy of some good runs in defeat, including when a 15l fourth in the Kerry National at Listowel in September (3m, yielding); tailed off when pulled up at Ascot (3m, good) when last seen in November; top-rated over fences and goes well fresh. |

11st 8lb |
Both hurdle wins were at about 2m and others saw out the trip stronger when upped to 3m for the Kerry National at Listowel (yielding); however, that's looking a good renewal as two of those ahead of him were last week's Cheltenham winner Three Card Brag and French Dynamite who has since won a Grade 3; even before that run he had shown himself to be a better chaser than hurdler and, still only a 6yo, this trip is worth persevering with for now; interesting. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Belied 40-1 odds when creditable third at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft; wore cheekpieces) in March but weakened quickly after making a lot of the running over C&D (good; visored, as today) three weeks ago and is now 0-9 for stable; needs recent wind op to have made a big difference. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Two placings this spring give him a chance but they were followed by two lesser efforts and latest was C&D when tongue tied first time since 2024; visor (used twice in 2025) returns instead of usual cheekpieces; stable runs two. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
A tongue-tie is added after his Kelso disappointment and his two previous runs in 2m5f/2m3f handicaps certainly bring him into the equation; unraced here. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Fourth in a claiming hurdle before having a complete off-day over fences five weeks ago, when he lost lengths at the start and jumped poorly before ultimately unseating; hard to win with at the best of times and now makes debut for a new Irish yard. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |
11st 7lb |
Not the easiest to win with but often runs well in defeat; beaten 7.75l off 3lb higher on his last start in this sphere at Wexford on penultimate; 9l fourth in claiming hurdle back there on latest; best chase effort came when a 6l third in a Grade 3 novice here (18.5f, gd-yld) in October (Birdie Or Bust second); big chance on that form and has won here over hurdles. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |

Decent form over fences last autumn, including third in a Punchestown Grade 3 novice; pulled up in a race of this type over hurdles at Tramore last month; better when fourth off his higher chase mark at this venue on latest; hard to win with. |

One of eight for trainer; made all to win 2m4f Wexford novice chase last summer but hit and miss since, best effort when a 2.75l runner-up behind Ol Man Dingle in a Cork Grade 3 novice in November; bounced back from two poor runs in big-field handicaps when second of four runners in a Limerick Grade 3 novice last time; big fields may not be his thing. |

Made all to win 2m4f Wexford novice' last summer but has been hit and miss since, best effort when runner-up in a Cork Grade 3 novice; poor runs in very competitive Leopardstown handicaps last twice but drop in class makes her a leading player. |
