12st 0lb |
Out of sorts for his handicap hurdling debut at Punchestown in October when last seen over timber but has previously finished runner-up in a Tramore maiden hurdle (2m1f, good); Flat return at Limerick when third was encouraging for his chances here. |

Flat winner is 0-11 hurdling but runner-up no less than five times (all at 2m), including seasonal return at Punchestown in June; Roscommon run since was below par but overall profile gives him claims. |

His sole Flat win came at this track in 2024 and is now rated 71 in that sphere; lots of good efforts in 10 maiden hurdle runs including on comeback at Punchestown last time; penalised 8lb makes it difficult for him but should run well. |

12st 0lb |
Quick to get off the mark for his current yard at Leicester (2m) in December and he was still close up and running well when unseating rider two out on handicap debut at Haydock (2m4f) 20 days ago; firmly in the picture. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Wide-margin win in Leicester maiden (heavy) in December was a good start for this yard and followed that with solid third behind a useful sort here (also about 2m, good) three weeks later; set to post a lesser effort when unseating over further next time but it was a step back in the right direction when third in heavy-ground 2m Sandown novice in January; the experiment over further looks worth another go and he's a player on handicap debut. |
