One of two runners for yard; tailed-off in a bumper and pulled-up in a maiden hurdle so can't be fancied. |

Closely related to point winner Lone Rocket; dam 2m hurdle winner, out of unraced half-sister to Grand National winner Amberleigh House; tongue tied for debut; worth a market check. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 185y |
10st 13lb |
Hooded for the first time when beating 12 rivals in a 2m6f maiden at Tramore (good) and got pestered up front when beaten 5l in a 2m2f novice here a month ago; should give his running and might not be far away back up in distance. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 165y |
11st 6lb |
Left previous ordinary form behind when winning a Tramore maiden hurdle 15 days ago (2m6f, good) in first-time hood (retained); handed a rating of 102 for that; raider claims 7lb but whether this sharper test will suit is debatable. |

Point winner two seasons ago; stand-out effort on the track when 15l second in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Limerick last November, chase form provides little encouragement. |

Left maiden form behind when a staying on fourth of 20 at Fairyhouse on handicap debut (2m4f, soft) last month, albeit was still beaten 20l; yard hitting form and should be in the mix off the same mark. |

In good hands; never figured on debut in a Punchestown novice hurdle in May; much the same in a maiden at Galway last month; feasible that he can leave two nondescript performances behind him. |

Returned for promising handicap debut at Down Royal in early May, none too fluent and short of room at crucial time when third of 20 over today's trip (good); later in month disappointing favourite over C&D, jumping letting him down; remains a potential improver given more fluent round of jumping. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |

Moderate form overall; his 9l third of 16 at Fairyhouse (2m4f, soft) in January was a decent effort; had excuse for poor chase run there next time; distant fifth here over hurdles on latest (2m7f); place chance. |

11st 12lb |
Second in a point-to-point in May; 10-1, faded from two furlongs down in a 2m4f bumper at Listowel; showed just about enough when fifth on his hurdles debut at Galway to suggest he could feature here for a leading local stable; fourth Kings Bucks has since run well at Cheltenham. |
