10st 10lb |
Gained third chase win at Thurles in January by 0.75l off 8lb lower; soundly beaten off revised mark twice since and while trip and ground are fine here, the first-time tongue tie needs to eke out more. |

Rattled in a hat-trick at Thurles at 2m5f-25.5f last winter, going up a cumulative 41lb; came up short off revised mark at Kempton (3m, gd-sft) when last seen in February; needs to resume progress after break. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
A major improver since joining Emmet Mullins, winning twice over hurdles in the autumn and now arrives here on a four-timer over fences after three wins at Thurles (2m5f-3m1f); tackling a different level of opposition now but Sean Bowen rides off a feather weight and he could be dangerous. |

Back from a spell chasing with a solid effort at Downpatrick (2m6f, good), beaten just 1.25l into second of 10; nudged up 2lb, so remains 8lb above sole success, but yard red hot so should be on the premises again. |
