|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 14th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 5f 150y | 11st 11lb | Progressive over hurdles last year, and form went to a new level when a well-backed runner-up on chase debut at Killarney (2m7f, yielding) in October, where he might have won but for a mistake; too keen and didn't get home at Cheltenham later that month; didn't jump so fluently back over hurdles at Cork and was already in trouble when hampered at two out; needs to bounce back. | 11/2 |
| 5th 4 | 23rd Nov 2025 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 40y | 11st 10lb | Progressive over hurdles this year (2m-2m4f) and form went to new level when runner-up on chase debut at Killarney (2m7f, yielding), where he might have won but for mistake two out; too keen and didn't get home in 2m4f Cheltenham handicap chase and tried hooded now on hurdles return; stamina unproven. | 3/1F |
| 6th 10 | 25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 44y Class 3 | 10st 10lb | Progressive over hurdles this year (2m-2m4f) and form went to new level when runner-up on recent chase debut at Killarney (2m7f, yielding), where he might have won but for a bad mistake two out; the handicapper has reacted but this 6yo could have a big shout for his respected Irish trainer. | 9/1 |
| 2nd 1 | 5th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 7f 100y | 11st 12lb | Well backed when making winning start for connections in 2m Leopardstown handicap hurdle in March on first start for nine months; held off 17lb higher mark at Tipperary on return in July and got up late for second in 2m4f Gowran handicap on Friday (soft); switches to fences here (half-brother to a 2m7f winning chaser). | 11/8F |
| 2nd 3 | 3rd Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 40y | 11st 7lb | Left form for previous yard behind when landing a touch on debut for this yard at Leopardstown (2m, yielding) in March; hiked up 17lb and came up short off his revised mark at Tipperary (2m, gd-yld); must improve for this longer trip. | 11/10F |
