Big-field Fairyhouse handicap hurdle winner on New Year's Day 2025 off 1lb higher (3m1f, yielding to soft); well beaten in final starts for Liam Cusack, but his fourth at Punchestown on stable debut was a positive (2m7f, heavy); 100-30 favourite at Downpatrick last time but was never travelling; questions to answer now. |

Winner of a big-field Fairyhouse handicap hurdle on New Year's Day last year (3m, yielding to soft) off 94; well beaten in last six starts over hurdles and fences; makes stable debut now with tongue-tie added to cheekpieces, but others appeal more. |
