Won over hurdles and fences within five days in January but was pulled-up over hurdles since; this same mark looks stiff back over fences. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 50y |
10st 9lb |
Came good here when an easy 9l winner over hurdles last month (2m4f, soft); sent chasing at Down Royal (2m4, yielding to soft) to take advantage of lower mark and landed the odds by 0.5l; must now run from 17lb revised mark, which makes things a lot tougher. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 9lb |
Better hurdler than chaser for Des McDonogh but off the mark chasing at second attempt for current yard when taking 2m5f Kilbeggan handicap last month, appreciating drop in grade and would have won handier but for mistake at last; 5lb rise looks plenty fair and should go well. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |

Better hurdler than chaser, though last win came in 2023; 0-9 chasing, standout run when second in 2m5f Down Royal handicap in January off 97; none too fluent and met trouble in running on yard debut here in May; best form is on softer ground; drops in grade. |

Won a 2m2f maiden hurdle here in 2024 (good); was chasing last season and finally got a win in that sphere at Kilbeggan in April (2m4f, good to yielding) off 96 but pulled up at Wexford last time; Mickey Cohen appears to be the stable's best chance. |

Now 0-10 over fences having been an unplaced favourite over a longer trip at Down Royal 12 days ago; this is probably closer to his optimum distance; first reserve. |

Landed a handicap chase at Killarney in May (20.5f, gd-yld) off 7lb lower; failed to follow up off revised mark at Limerick and soundly beaten off higher hurdles mark at Galway on latest; a bit to prove for now. |

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. |
