Consecutive unseats in maiden hunter chases but got round to finish third in Thurles handicap (21.5f, soft) last month, albeit 15l behind the winner; given a forceful ride when fourth at Wexford (19.5f, soft) 12 days later; each-way claims. |

Maiden has yet to really make an impact in handicap chases; fifth and fourth the last twice but beaten 18l and 28l respectively; down another 2lb but might need a little bit more respite from the handicapper. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 180y |
11st 6lb |
Flat and hurdle winner ran a cracker on return over 2m4f here, his fourth chase start; can improve from that and is a major player if staying this trip, though he is Flat-bred so there's a doubt. |

Out of form when last seen at Dundalk in January; has gone well here before over hurdles but hasn't run in a chase since October 2023; has placed when fresh before so check the market. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 170y |
11st 6lb |
Won over fences at Kilbeggan last August (3m2f, good to yielding); ran respectably next time at Ballinrobe (2m7f, soft); pulled up in a handicap hurdle last time; trainer has a stronger contender in Gaelic Des Chastys. |

26th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 0y |

Added a chase win to his brace of hurdle successes when winning at Kilbeggan in August (3m2f, good to yielding); ran respectably next time at Ballinrobe (2m7f, soft); tailed off at Killarney when last seen in October; reverts to hurdles now, and chance at his best. |

12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 7f 6y |

Hurdle winner at this track and opened his chase account with a neck success at Kilbeggan three weeks ago; may have won by further without an error in the closing stages and 5lb rise looks workable. |

Dual winning chaser is rated 8lb lower over hurdles but is 0-14; this ground suits but may need this run to warm up for a summer campaign. |

4th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 82y |

Gained a deserved second chase win off 4lb lower at Sligo early last month (3m2f, gd-yld), his second win at that track; previously ran well on soft at Ballinrobe (2m7f); in fine fettle and should be in the mix again. |

11st 2lb |
Had a below-par Defence Witness behind when a C&D third off today's mark last June, and belatedly off the mark next time out back in Ireland; can go well after a break without necessarily being able to threaten a win. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Belatedly opened account with hard-fought success at Downpatrick (2m7f, good) in July, his 17th start over fences, but was just a respectable sixth over C&D (good) last month and needs to up his game today. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 1f 100y |

Won over C&D last August and not bad efforts afterwards (fell once); should strip fitter after his Down Royal return so can be a player. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 50y |
11st 3lb |
Landed a Wexford handicap chase (3m1f, good) off 7lb lower in August; still leading when fell at the eleventh at Punchestown when last seen in October (2m7f, good to yielding); absence to overcome but player if that doesn't pose problems. |

29th Aug 2025 Yielding 3m 1f 0y |
10st 9lb |
Some promise over hurdles despite failing to win a race; 12-1 for last week's chase debut at Kilbeggan and came down mid-race; remains to be seen how he reacts to that as confidence could be a factor. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 180y |

Maiden but not beaten far over hurdles at times, notably when fourth at Down Royal last winter; not as good twice since and has to do better on chase debut. |

15th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
10st 9lb |
Better than ever last year, winning over hurdles twice, including here (2m6f, yielding); 0-12 chasing but stayed on for third over C&D in May after racing wide; and would have got closer at Wexford last time but for repeated jumping errors; place chance if jumps better. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 110y |

Better than ever last summer, winning over hurdles at Tramore and Sligo; 0-11 chasing though, staying on third at Tramore on May return, having raced wide; not one to totally rule out but hard to see him playing a major role. |

Record of 0-31 under rules; best of three point runs of late when runner-up at Dromahane last month; talented claimer rode a winner for the yard last month so a market check is advised nonetheless. |

Sent off at 7-2 and duly produced an improved effort when beaten only 1/2l in a 3m2f handicap chase at Sligo a month ago; hood now added to usual tongue-tie; should go close for trainer who hit the target in a handicap chase at Clonmel last week. |

5th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 165y |

13yo veteran has won seven times over hurdles; mixing chasing and hurdling lately but hasn't looked like adding to his haul; however, he has won here before over shorter and he is 5lb below his last winning mark; not totally discounted but a revival is needed. |
