Form & Verdict
Progressive hurdler last season, ending up with a rating of 138; justified favouritism when landing a 2m2f beginners' chase in gutsy style at Galway on return to action last month and the now 136-rated runner up has won since; unexposed in this sphere and shouldn't be underestimated.

Won first two chases in the autumn, including a Grade 3 at Cork; jumping left him down in novice handicap at Cheltenham; faded in the straight when behind He's Gorgeous at Punchestown and question mark over his stamina for this trip.

Three-time winning hurdler in 2024; immediate winner over fences at Galway (2m2f, yielding) before following up in a Cork Grade 3 novice (2m4f, good to yielding) next time, with You Oughta Know 2.75l behind in second; poor effort in Grade 1 company in November at Fairyhouse; never on terms after a bad mistake at the fifth at Cheltenham when last seen; tough task conceding weight all round.

Returns from a layoff, having shown all of his chase form in the autumn, winning twice (including 2m4f Grade 3) prior to a form-dip in Fairyhouse Grade 1; needs to resume progress but has big-field handicap experience, namely a good effort over hurdles at the 2025 Dublin Racing Festival; cheekpieces added.

Made all to score by 23l in a beginners' chase at Wexford in August (19.5f, good); fell heavily when 9-2 favourite for the Kerry National at Listowel and then pulled up when 13-2 for the Munster National (both 3m); return to this trip a plus but risks attached after those non-completions.
