Has lost way since a Galway maiden hurdle win in October 2023; no sign of revival in first-time cheekpieces (retained) in Clonmel beginners' chase latest; hard to fancy.

Two-time Flat winner is 0-12 over hurdles but has run well in defeat; beaten 0.75l off 2lb lower in this race last May (good); decent effort at Kilbeggan latest when 3.5l behind Piccolo Player; should go well with blinkers back on.

Won four-runner novice chase at Cork (16.5f, good) in October; 0-6 over hurdles but has run well in defeat; beaten 5.25l when fourth off this mark at Navan in September; fell in a handicap chase at Navan latest; not discounted back over hurdles.
AI verdict

SR 102 suggests ability but 11/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Modest on the Flat; 1-6 over hurdles, the win coming in a Kilbeggan maiden in April 2025 (15.5f, gd-yld); heavy ground not ideal the last twice; could improve for this sounder surface.
AI verdict

SR 79 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 20/1.

Heavy-ground maiden hurdle winner at Limerick (2m) in November; seemed to handle quicker ground when a 7.5l runner up at Kilbeggan latest (16.5f, gd-yld); place shout again off 1lb higher for yard with good record here.

Is 6lb lower than when gaining second win over hurdles at Tipperary in July 2024; soundly beaten off 100 when last seen at Down Royal in December; 1lb lower now and has gone well fresh, so not dismissed in first-time cheekpieces.

Won a Downpatrick maiden hurdle for Gordon Elliott in April 2024; no joy since but latest Galway fifth (2m, gd-yld) in October his best since joining this yard; dropped 3lb and sports a tongue-tie for return; could run into a place if fit.
