Won five in a row at around 1m4f on turf/AW for the Charltons between September 2023 and July 2024; suffered heavy defeats on first three starts back from an absence for new yard and latest second of three at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) in this headgear combination was no big step back in the right direction as he was beaten 8l.

Won five in a row at around 1m4f on turf/AW for the Charltons between September 2023 and July 2024, but has suffered heavy defeats in all three starts since returning for this yard in May; new headgear combination will need to make a big difference.

Record of just 1-20 on Flat, the success in Class 6 handicap over 1m2f in April; form dipped last time; brings limited potential to this change of code.

Best effort in bumpers when third at Worcester; soundly beaten over C&D switched to hurdles last time, however, and may be more interesting in handicaps later on.

Blotted copybook when veering right and unseating rider soon after the start of a recent bumper but the form of his third here last October (good ground) has worked out quite well; could have a say if all goes to plan on hurdle debut.

Promise on debut in Listed Limerick bumper (2m, soft); stayed on for a 25l sixth of 25 in much stronger maiden than this at Naas (2m, yielding) in January; very disappointing at Fairyhouse latest, however; cheekpieces and tongue tie go on for first start on good ground (brother City Island won three times on good ground).

T: Gordon Elliott

One of six for yard; bumper winner at this venue (yielding); highly tried at times since but jumping has held him back, albeit wasn't beaten that far when fourth at Fairyhouse on penultimate; had an excuse (coughing) when pulled up latest; and might rebound in new headgear combination back at the scene of his bumper win.

J: Jack Kennedy

T: Gordon Elliott

Navan bumper winner last season who made very promising hurdles debut in Leopardstown maiden before set very stiff tasks twice in Grade 1 contests; jumping let him down on seasonal return at Fairyhouse in November when reportedly hanging violently left throughout in first-time tongue-tie; Jack Kennedy sticks with him and big player if near his best.

Useful Flat form at about 1m2f; beaten in the region of 10l in his two runs over hurdles despite taking a firm grip (tongue tied last time on soft; 2.25l behind Talakan); needs to settle better but this sharp track could benefit him.
