11st 9lb |
Several near misses before getting off the mark in spectacular fashion over 3m7f at Punchestown in April; up 12lb for that and extreme distances may well be what he wants, but this trip should be fine and he is a leading contender. |

Bumper/hurdles winner is 0-8 chasing but has being going close in handicaps, notably second in 3m4f National Trial here in February and when chasing home 5l winner Born Braver in 3m5f Ulster National at Downpatrick last time; 5lb better off with that rival here. |

11st 4lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner in 2024 hasn't really built on that promise; ran a fine race on second chase start at Punchestown in December but not as good since; bled when pulled-up last time at Fairyhouse so questions now. |

11st 12lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner; best chase effort came over 2m7f on heavy in a Punchestown beginners' on penultimate when 3.75l behind the now 142-rated Kurasso Blue (received 8lb); not as good at Gowran latest (2m4f, heavy) but could be on a nice mark for handicap debut based on that Punchestown run. |

Things haven't gone to plan since a wide margin beginners' chase win at Wexford (3m1f, soft) in March; unseated and pulled up in handicaps at Punchestown and Kilbeggan; also beaten in three runner novice chase at Punchestown (3m1f, gd-yld); a bit to prove for now. |

Dual winner; no real match for Raglan Road in a three-runner contest at Punchestown last month; still relatively unexposed and not one to take lightly. |

Two hurdles wins came some time ago; 0-7 chasing, most recently back from point-to-points when pulled up in Cork hunters chase in April; hard to make a case for. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 186y |
11st 3lb |
Likes a sound surface and was prolific over hurdles (rated 129) last year, winning five times at up to 2m4f, including a fast-ground victory in America; was running a good race when coming down on chasing debut; benefitted from fall of odds-on favourite when winning over 2m at Tramore, not having much to spare over 112-rated rival. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 130y |

5-9 over hurdles and earned a handicap mark of 129; wouldn't have won but was running well when coming down two out on chase debut at Killarney; much respected. |
