Career highlights when winning back-to-back handicap hurdles at Gowran and Punchestown in November 2024; a long way below his best in a light 2025 campaign that included two poor runs over fences; well held by Theflyingbee on Punchestown running.

C&D maiden winner early last year and placed twice here; good chance now based on three consecutive placed efforts on turf; went close over 1m6f at Fairyhouse (rated race); close on the heels of Diamond Exchange and Nakasero when third in 1m3f Naas handicap; again not beaten far over 1m5f at Leopardstown.

Just 1m4f AW maiden win to his name but arrives on the back of two fine runs on turf, had the run of the race when pipped over 1m6f at Fairyhouse (rated race) and again made plenty of use of when third in 1m3f Naas handicap early this month; definite claims back up in trip.

Frankel gelding was narrowly denied in a Punchestown handicap in November (2m, heavy); weakening when fell at the final flight at Down Royal in a novice hurdle when last seen in January (2m1f, soft); has the form to win a race of this nature.

Won off 8lb lower at Cork in April (2m, yielding); back to form with solid 2.25l fourth of 14 here over 16.5f (good) on latest; has weakened late on both previous starts at this sort of trip so stamina a concern.

Slight ability in bumpers; won his third maiden hurdle over 2m here in June (good to yielding) despite racing keenly; tailed off in his first handicap at Limerick earlier this month (2m1f, good); a tongue tie is added to the previously worn hood; he's capable of more.

Improved over tame handicap debut at Clonmel (2m4f, heavy) when a 16l fifth of 18 at Punchestown (2m, yielding); tailed off back at that venue next time (2m3f, heavy); potentially prefers better ground than this.
