| 4th 7 | 1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y | 11st 8lb | One of eight for trainer; dual bumper and maiden hurdle winner in 2024; runner-up on chase debut at this venue (2m7f, heavy) before falling four out back here next time; failed to justify 5-6 favouritism at Naas (2m4f, soft to heavy) last time when a 0.5l second behind Spread Boss Ted; now enters handicap chase company. | 8/1 |
