Lightly-raced 5yo won 2m2f Downpatrick maiden for Gavin Cromwell last autumn before never counting in Grade 3 at Fairyhouse; back from eight months' absence on yard/handicap debut and probably best watched. |

8st 9lb |
Finally got head in front after 19 attempts when landing Downpatrick maiden hurdle last month and has since followed it up with a novice hurdle and chase victory; needs to prove as effective on the Flat but didn't run badly in 1m3f maiden in April on ground softer than ideal; could be on a decent mark. |

13th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 120y |
11st 5lb |
Has hit top form recently; followed up an easy win in a weak Downpatrick maiden hurdle (2m2f, good) with success in a Sligo novice contest (2m2f, good); his rating of 120 over hurdles is the best on offer here but he must transfer it to fences on this chasing bow. |

Flat maiden easily got off the mark over hurdles (15th attempt) in a weak Downpatrick maiden over this trip last month (good), having gone close on several occasions in stronger company; major player. |

Kept on for a respectable third on debut at Downpatrick (2m1f, yielding), but below that level next time; another decent effort at Newbury (2m, good to soft) last time when third, although no match for the first two; may find a few too talented. |

Best hurdling effort came over C&D early last month when a 4.5l fifth (good), keeping on late in the game; a bit below that in a similar contest last time when a 10.5l fourth (3.25l behind Avandra); improvement required. |

0-15 under both codes but has placed five times on Flat, including over C&D last time when taking the runner-up spot behind Gallo Dell Cielo; has a tendency to be slowly away, and he didn't look the easiest ride in the final furlong last time; cheekpieces are added to the tongue tie now; not dismissed given his positive AW record. |

Dual-purpose maiden placed on the Flat in France; modest third on second start over hurdles at Kilbeggan latest (2m3f, gd-yld); step up in trip and new headgear combination needs to eke out more. |
