Two Flat wins in Germany early in his career, and Listed-placed; can be rated a possible future hurdles winner based on Punchestown fifth last month on handicap debut; slight reservation now on account of a suspicion that he might prefer a longer trip. |

AW winner at two in Britain, but has never raced here; won a claiming hurdle two runs back, but trip looks too sharp as well as the query about him on Polytrack. |

3rd 1 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Fair hurdles form in 2022; has done most of his racing on the Flat in recent years; second at Clonmel last September has been the only bright spot in that sphere since a 2024 Chester win; found his level when winning in this category at Wexford 13 days ago; should be the mix again. |

Best hurdles form was in 2022, and he has done most of his racing on the Flat in recent years; second at Clonmel last September has been the only bright spot since a 2024 Chester win; no merit in his recent Navan run; may struggle to run up to an official rating of 117. |

Sole success came in a Roscommon claimer in August (10.5f, good); heavy ground may not have been ideal on debut for this yard on latest at Listowel but others make more appeal. |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 6f 55y |

Three seconds for William Haggas but had failed to make frame in six starts for Denis Hogan before dropping in grade to take a good ground Roscommon claimer over an extended 1m2f in his final start for that outfit last month; can't be ruled out but others preferred. |

20th Jan 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 33y |
11st 2lb |
Dual-purpose; 1-29 on Flat; 0-6 over hurdles; her sole Flat win came over three years ago, but she had fair form in 2025, including when second in a 1m5f handicap at this venue; well clear of the remainder when chasing home an easy winner at Tramore on New Year's Day. |
5/1 |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 6f 55y |

Record of 1-27 with her win coming three years ago doesn't inspire hugely, but she has been running well in defeat recently; beaten a head at Down Royal in first-time cheekpieces off 62 in July (1m5f, good); creditable runs at Galway and Killarney following that (a neck behind Ehteyat at Killarney); interesting. |
8/1 |

No win since 2022 but went agonisingly close to ending the drought at Down Royal last month (1m5f, good) in first-time cheekpieces; merit in Galway fourth since so remains of interest. |

Three-time Flat winner has run well in defeat in maiden hurdles this year, including over C&D; below form in an Aintree handicap last time, but this isn't as competitive and he is one to consider. |

Three-time Flat winner; placed in three of four maiden hurdles at up to an extended 2m1f in Ireland this year but doesn't strike as being obviously well treated from an opening hurdle mark in the mid-120s. |
33/1 |

17th Mar 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 105y |

Three-time Flat winner returned with blood at both nostrils when pulled up at Tramore on hurdling debut; eyecatching third at Thurles next time when rallying and keeping on well; 8l second at Leopardstown early this month; room for improvement in his jumping. |

Sole win came at Cork in 2023; decent form last autumn, including a close third over 1m4f at Galway and second in a 19-runner contest at the Curragh; well-backed on latest of two runs this term when fourth at Gowran (Good Onya Mate second); 5lb claimer now rides but more exposed than that rival. |
