Trainer Form Profile
| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | 5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 2f 0y | 11st 2lb | Twice successful over hurdles; ordinary handicap chase form until second at Down Royal last month; remains 9lb below hurdles mark; fair chance if replicating his improved display. | 10/1 |
| 2nd 3 | 3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y | 11st 7lb | Won at Down Royal last time in a tongue-tie, his second win over hurdles; 7lb rise looks plenty but still respected; handles soft so could be fine on this ground. | 11/1 |
| 2nd 5 | 20th Jan 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 145y | 11st 11lb | Twice successful over hurdles; ordinary handicap chase form so far; premature to write off but hard to recommend until he shows some spark again; runs off 12lb lower than current hurdles rating. | 25/1 |
| 1st 3 | 20th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 1f 33y | 11st 13lb | Good ground Sligo winner in June 2024 off 3lb lower; lightly raced since, didn't get beyond the first at Navan last time; tongue-tie now tried, hard to be confident in. | 28/1 |
| 11th 5 | 20th Nov 2025 Yielding 2m 2f 65y | 11st 3lb | Dual hurdle winner but not yet as effective a chaser after five attempts, latest when unseating rider early at Galway last month; 11lb lower than over hurdles so not one to give up on just yet. | 10/1 |
