11st 8lb

1-9 over hurdles; promise in both chase starts; 8.5l second in Killarney beginners' (2m1f, gd-yld) and when 5l behind Birdie Or Bust in a novice at Listowel (17.5f, gd-yld) last September; worse off at weights with that rival and not seen since but can't discount on handicap chase debut in new headgear combination.

J: Sean Flanagan

T: Barry Connell

Won a Gowran maiden hurdle and Fairyhouse novice in 2024; weakened over 22.5f on handicap hurdle debut at Ballinrobe on sole start in 2025; long layoff to overcome on chase debut but worth a market check.

Represents last year's winning yard; 1-10, the win coming in 2022 at Roscommon (16.5f, good) off 10lb lower; stays this far and shaped ok at Punchestown on latest, staying on over 2m (gd-yld); could go well back up in trip.
