31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper and 2m4f maiden hurdle winner, but he's not the quickest and has looked laboured over his fences in first two chase starts over 3m1f; new headgear combination tried here. |

Consistent performer over hurdles, but jumped poorly on his chase debut at Wexford in March and well beaten back over flights since at Down Royal; questions to answer. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 184y |
9st 0lb |
Bumper winner at four and fairly ordinary maiden hurdler; lapped in his last two maidens but that 10l sixth to Enceladus (Royal Ascot handicap winner who followed up in Gordon Stakes last week) catches the eye; maybe it flatters him, but the market will be interesting. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Struggled after winning a bumper on debut in 2023; placed in three maiden hurdles last year; made the frame twice over hurdles in May; fair sixth of 16 behind subsequent Royal Ascot handicap winner Enceladus at Cork on his first run on the Flat; in rear at Ballinrobe on second attempt. |

Struggled after winning a bumper on debut in 2023; staged a revival last summer when placed in three maiden hurdles; has made the frame twice over hurdles since finishing around 10l sixth of 16 behind subsequent Royal Ascot handicap winner Enceladus at Cork on his first run on the Flat |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 7f 170y |
10st 9lb |
Likes a stamina test, second win coming over 3m1f at Navan in December in first-time cheekpieces (soft-to-heavy); creditable efforts off revised mark twice since, latest when third (Minella Emperor second) in 3m Pertemps qualifier at Haydock on better ground; place claims. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Second hurdle success when stepped up to 3m1f for his Navan handicap debut (soft to heavy) in December and backed that up when third of nine over 3m at Fairyhouse (yielding) since; one of a few unexposed types in this line-up. |
14/1 |

3rd 6 |
14th Jan 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Thurles maiden hurdle winner in October (2m6f, good to yielding), and runner-up was a very easy winner next time; well beaten in a novice hurdle back at that track subsequently, but ready winner when stepped up in trip in first-time cheekpieces for Navan handicap last time (3m1f, soft to heavy); stamina is his forte on breeding (dam half-sister to Best Mate), and big player here. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 210y |
11st 4lb |
Won on his second point start in May 2025; best of four maiden hurdle runs when a 16l runner-up to the useful County Final in a 2m3f contest at Navan last September; tongue-tie now on for his first appearance since the following month. |

12th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 100y |
11st 8lb |
Won on his second point start in May; the best of three maiden hurdle runs when a 16l runner-up to what looks a smart rival at Navan last time; still has to improve on that. |

11st 8lb |
Beaten a long way in two handicaps lately and has a rating of only 72 so can't be fancied. |

24th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 2f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Remote third at Wexford (16.5f, good) off 2lb higher on penultimate but didn't build on that upped to 20.5f at the same venue latest; drops back in trip now but others make more appeal. |
33/1 |

8th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 100y |
10st 1lb |
Stayed on for a modest third here (16.5f, good) last time, his best run to date; dropped 1lb and this longer trip should suit; place chance if building on that last run. |

A glimmer of promise in two point starts but was beaten a long way at Listowel on hurdles debut and has to improve hugely. |

Some fair runs in maidens including at Limerick last time but was pulled-up on handicap debut two starts ago at Cork; needs his best to figure. |

Maiden is rated 100 over hurdles and was well beaten on chasing debut at Tramore a week ago; cheekpieces added but not easy to fancy. |
50/1 |

13th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 12lb |
Is 0-16 over hurdles and rated 100 in that sphere; nonetheless, his 9l fifth of nine at Killarney last month was one of his better efforts (2m5f, good); fences need to bring improvement. |
15/1 |
|
5th 5 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |
11st 4lb |
0-15 over hurdles and rated 100; has a few placed efforts to his name in maidens, but pulled up at Wexford on latest and needs to bounce back. |
10/1 |
