Ran well in listed handicaps at Fairyhouse and Punchestown earlier last spring but was an early faller at Galway when last seen 9 months earlier. Amongst the form picks if not too rusty after an absence.

Useful hurdler who landed a match race at Cork in August. Ran well when last seen on the Flat at the Curragh in October and he's an intriguing newcomer to chasing (not particularly bred for the discipline).

Fairly useful hurdler who found improvement when a creditable second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.4f, good, 13/8) in July. Unseated early on chase debut at Leopardstown in March but remains the type to make a better chaser.

Produced an improved effort when fourth of 18 in a listed handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (2m, soft) in April and backed that up with a creditable fifth in another big-field handicap at the Punchestown Festival (21f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Makes plenty of appeal on chase bow.

Fairly useful over hurdles and translated that ability to chasing at the second time of asking when third in 17f Cork maiden last month. Would've finished closer if not for bungling 2 out when runner-up in a 6-runner Down Royal novice (2½m) 3 weeks ago and sets the standard of those with experience.

Cosily off the mark in points at second attempt in March 2025 and he offered something to work on when fifth of 15 in hunter chase at Cork (3m, good to soft) on Rules debut the following month. Not certain to appreciate this drop in trip after 13 months off.

Timeform Verdict

SONY BILL has shaped well in a pair of a strong handicap hurdles this spring and is taken to make a successful start over fences at the chief expense of the experienced Scalpnagoon.
