Form & Verdict

Beat a useful type when winning a bumper and early hurdling efforts were promising; on third start after a year off, back to form when second (winner ran well off 115 since) over 2m4f at Listowel where he looked likely to drop away but plugged on; tongue-tie added.

Form & Verdict

Won Grade 2 bumper at the DRF in 2024; sidelined until unplaced run in Fairyhouse bumper at Easter; notably weak in the betting for hurdling debut at Ballinrobe, hampered early on and weakened late over extended 2m6f, finishing 5l off strong-finishing Young Doran; sharper for that experience, and probably fitter too.
