19th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Four-time winner whose best form has on soft and heavy at around 7f; got those optimum conditions over C&D last time when third, finishing 1.75l behind Mickey The Steel and 6.5l behind Red Charlie; cheekpieces added to the tongue tie now, but may struggle to reverse form. |

Won over 7f here (sft-hvy) on return from long layoff in March; raised 15lb and beaten a nose in follow up bid here (7f, soft) in April; beaten 4.75l into fourth upped to 1m at Naas on latest (1m, good) when 1l behind Far From Dandy; 2lb wrong and may need it softer than this. |

Returned from a 493-day absence over 7f at the Curragh when comfortably winning a 23-runner contest (soft to heavy); almost followed up off 15lb higher back there next time, when hampered before finishing strongly to lose out by a head; up another 3lb, but he's thriving and a definite chance if handling this better ground and step up in trip. |

Winless from five starts for Emmet Mullins in 2024 but returned from a 493-day absence over C&D last month when pulverising the 23-runner field (soft to heavy); handicapper hasn't missed him, handing a whopping 15lb rise; but big chance of going in again with softer ground to suit. |

Gained breakthrough success in first-time blinkers at Punchestown (1m, good to yielding) in September off 70; good third off this mark at Cork when last seen in September; blinkers are getting the best from him and he's a player if ready on seasonal return. |

Both successes have come at Cork with give in the ground; landed handicap by 1.5l 46 days ago, staying on strongly and beating some consistent older horses; quick ground would be a question mark but he's likeable and progressive. |

Lightly raced 3yo won 6f maiden here last September (yielding-to-soft) and has acquitted himself creditably in two handicap runs this season, latest when not quite getting home (rider dropped whip) over 1m in finishing fourth here early this month; down 2lb but remains 3lb out of handicap proper; don't rule out with drop to 7f to suit. |

Three-time course winner over 5f/6f on varying ground; most recent run this term was a step in the right direction (considerately-handled never nearer sixth) and could reverse form with a couple of these with top rider replacing inexperienced 10lb claimer; down to a career-low mark. |
