Won a 1m4f Cork handicap on return last year and some good runs off higher marks after; won over hurdles in November but disqualified after a positive sample; failed to run to market expectations at Gowran on seasonal debut, capable of better. |

Best of four runs under rules came at Wexford last time when he shaped as though a step up in trip, such as this could suit; a lot on his plate here all the same. |

Encouraging debut in a Leopardstown bumper before a distant fourth in a Clonmel maiden hurdle; much more required here but further should suit with stamina on the dam's side of his pedigree. |

Off the mark chasing in C&D handicap last month off 95 but unable to cope with rise in class at Galway; more needed. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 3lb |
One of three for yard; sent off favourite and rewarded backers with a first win over fences at Wexford (19.5f, good) on latest, beating A Snow White Park by 2.5l; 6lb higher now and steps up in grade but should go well again. |
15/2 |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |

Won big-field Leopardstown 2m4f handicap hurdle at Christmas meeting in 2024; fourth to stablemate Driveonwill in a beginners' at Downpatrick; 3l off runner-up A Snow White Park in another beginners' last time and nice pull at the weights with her; second handicap run and mark looks exploitable. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Bumper winner has been running respectably over hurdles; finished a 4.75l third of 13 at Gowran (2m4f, heavy) last month; same mark here but quicker ground a query. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
7th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Bumper winner is 0-11 hurdling but good second in Punchestown maiden (2m4f, soft) last season; solid form of late in handicaps; dropped 1lb for latest fifth at Punchestown and capable 7lb claimer aboard. |
8/1 |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 55y |

Bumper winner is 0-10 hurdling but good second in 2m4f Punchestown maiden (soft) last season; okay form of late in handicaps but needs to improve to play a major role. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Has gone the wrong way since winning the 2024 Cork National; signs of a revival over hurdles at Sligo on penultimate but didn't build on it back there on latest; remains 5lb above his last chase win and failed to complete last two chase starts. |
16/1 |
|
7th 7 |
12th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 121y |
11st 2lb |
Lost his form badly after winning the Cork National in 2024, but bounced back over 3m2f here (good) last time in first-time blinkers when runner-up after idling when leading (1.75l ahead of Je Suis); form of that race is questionable, but he has a notably low hurdles mark if he can repeat that effort. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y |
11st 11lb |
Lost his form badly after winning the Cork National in 2024 and is hard to fancy on recent poor hurdle runs; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 2m 2f 0y |
11st 13lb |
Is 1-9 over hurdles; last sighted in May beating a subsequent two-time winner in a beginners' chase at Downpatrick (19.5f, good); sole win over timber came in November of last year off 90 on soft at Cork (2m); seems best going right handed and might need this on his return from 127 days off. |
11/2 |

1st 3 |
24th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 100y |

Record of 1-9 over hurdles but has been consistent enough in handicaps, mostly on easier ground; has 10l to find with Warm In Gorey from his chasing debut at Wexford but will have improved from then; yard in great form and a player. |

11st 4lb |
Added a second hurdles win at Ballinrobe three weeks ago (3m2f, good) on his second start for new yard; up 5lb for that but should continue to give a good account of himself. |
9/2 |
|
1st 6 |
10th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 194y |
10st 7lb |
1-21 over hurdles, the win coming at Thurles (2m4f, good) in November 2024 for Philip Rothwell; midfield at Kilbeggan on first run for this yard after a 232-day break so should be sharper now; now rated 2lb below his win and has run well here before; this trip is an unknown, however. |
13/2 |
|
7th 1 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 180y |

Won over 2m4f at Thurles in 2024 for Philip Rothwell, his only success from 28 starts; placed nine times; in fair form before changing stables; market may provide clues to what is expected on his first start for Gordon Elliott. |

Just 1-19 over hurdles but has been consistent in defeat lately, at Clonmel and twice at Wexford; the blinkers are new and he can be involved again. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 150y |

Won over C&D in May last year and second in a similar event next time off 99; decent C&D third last time (good) and should be in the mix again. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 55y |

Ordinary form in maidens; this trip may help his cause judged on a satisfactory handicap run over shorter at Galway; lost ground with a mistake at the fifth, stayed on from off the pace to finish in mid-division. |

10st 11lb |
Has been showing a fair standard over hurdles, making the frame in three of his last four outings in this sphere; his chasing debut didn't go to plan when last seen in January; in the mix if picking up where he left off over hurdles. |
