4th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 116y |

Good run when a 3.5l sixth at Leopardstown in December and narrowly denied on his next start at Down Royal (20.5f, yielding); pulled up on latest at Wexford, however, and needs to bounce back in first-time blinkers; 2lb wrong. |

Irish raider who didn't fare too well in four attempts over fences previously, but got off the mark over hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good to yielding) last month at the 28th attempt under rules; not an obvious candidate to follow up, over fences. |

Sole hurdles win came here, under regular rider, last summer, and placed three times over flights later in 2025; only had three completed starts over fences, best of them his Downpatrick second to subsequent easy winner Dinoland over nearly 3m; early exit last time; this trip seems closer to his optimum. |

In first-time cheekpieces when a clear second over 2m7f at Downpatrick 22 days ago and the winner was Dinoland who contests the previous race; this 7yo gets in off the same mark. |

Dual-Flat winner is 1-15 over timber, the win coming off 6lb higher at Ballinrobe two years ago; well below that level last autumn and probably best watched on seasonal return. |

Went close to shedding the maiden tag when runner-up over 2m4f here and backed that up with another solid second over C&D 17 days ago; only 1lb higher and the booking of William Maggs catches the eye, so he looks a leading contender. |
