Consistent over hurdles without winning, rated 112; belied his 33-1 starting price with a bright start to his chasing career, taking second at Wexford; backed that up with a Clonmel win; stepping into a different league now, and the trip may be shorter than ideal.
Useful handicap hurdle form, notably when third behind two British-trained runners at the Punchestown festival; had a straightforward task when landing a maiden hurdle at Clonmel in October; 128-rated hurdler already looks a better horse over fences, judged on an 8l win from the 138-rated Jacobs Ladder at Naas.
Smart dual-purpose sort; won the Galway Hurdle in 2024 and was a Killarney novice chase winner in July after being a close runner-up in the Ascot Stakes; has blotted his record since then, pulled up in the Galway Plate, in rear in the Irish Cesarewitch, lifeless run over fences at Cork.
Not far off the best of last term's novice hurdlers; won Grade 1 event at this meeting and better in defeat when placed at Cheltenham and Aintree; made a good start over fences at Down Royal; much too strong for three-time chase winner Gold Dancer in the Drinmore at Fairyhouse.
Won Punchestown Grade 2 novice in January; raced freely when fifth in Supreme Novices'; settled better when reversing form with the Cheltenham third Romeo Coolio at Aintree; ran freely again and jumped to the right at times when second to stablemate Irancy at Punchestown; questions to answer after failing to match stablemate Kappa Jy Pyke on chasing debut.
Progressive handicap hurdler late last year; improved again when scoring over 2m3f at Kilbeggan in July; ran as well as could have been expected when 19l third behind Kopek Des Bordes on chasing debut at Navan last month; up against it at this level.
Very useful 137-rated hurdler; now 11lb higher over fences after nine starts; twice runner-up last season; three wins and a second from four starts as a second-season novice this term; three of those runs were on goodish ground, but he handled testing conditions when mastering the useful Fleur In The Park at Punchestown a month ago.
Won her sole point start and twice a winner over hurdles; second in a 2m Grade 3 at Gowran in February on stable debut; not disgraced in Grade 1 runs at Aintree and Punchestown; made a pleasing start to her chasing career with Gowran win; soundly beaten in Cork mares' Grade 3.
Won a Grade 1 AQPS event in France at three; useful hurdler last term, won a 2m4f Grade 3 mares' event at this venue, fifth in the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltennham; 2-2 over fences; gave a polished display at Limerick (2m3f, yielding to soft); coped well with drop in trip and rise in class when landing 2m Grade 2 contest at Cheltenham.
