4th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Point winner for Colin Bowe three seasons ago; 2-3 in British bumpers for Ben Brookhouse in 2023 (both wins on soft) including a Listed race at Cheltenham; had a 4lb penalty when second at Ascot in December that year, 6 1/2l in front of Celtic Dino (now a 147-rated hurdler); potentially in a different league to these rivals if retaining that level of ability. |

22nd Dec 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 152y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Point winner (yielding) who made it 2-2 in bumpers (both on soft) when winning a Listed race at Cheltenham last month; now carries a 4lb penalty against some very interesting rivals but has strong claims nevertheless. |

19th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Recruited for £165,000 after justifying odds-on favouritism in an Irish maiden point (3m, yielding) and again he was odds-on when leaving two fellow southern raiders behind (the second also a point winner) to win on soft ground at Sedgefield four weeks ago; sets a good standard. |

Useful form in three bumpers for Pat Fahy, winning at Punchestown last October (good-to-yielding); bought for 58,000GBP at Cheltenham following month; stepped up from hurdling/stable debut at Down Royal when the only horse to make a race of out with the odds-on Brechin Castle at Naas. |

Useful form in three bumpers for Pat Fahy, notably latest when scoring at Punchestown in October (good-to-yielding), showing tidy turn of foot; bought for 58,000GBP at Cheltenham following month and debuts for Gordon Elliott switched to hurdles (Jack Kennedy prefers Whinney Hill). |

Point winner who was runner-up in a bumper; not so good over hurdles, but that could change now handicapping and he might enjoy this nicer ground. |

Has regressed sharply since winning on the Flat for Karl Burke and nothing positive to report so far over hurdles, including last week's handicap debut (33-1). |

AW winner for Karl Burke early last year; regressive in turf handicaps; hinted at handicap potential at Naas in March on his third maiden hurdle start, beaten 28l in sixth behind a Willie Mullins-trained odds-on chance in a 20-runner contest. |

Ballinrobe bumper winner for Emmet Mullins and top-rated of these; best of four hurdle runs came on penultimate at Killarney last month when an 11l fourth but didn't build on that back at scene of his win when making some jumping errors; can't be dismissed. |
