Useful as a young horse when trained in UK, was runner-up in a Group 3; however, has failed to add to his Flat win over hurdles and fences; last run was when well beaten in this race in 2025; others preferred.

Sole win came on AW in 2018 but has some placed form at stakes level which also came the year of his win; didn't show much to recommend him in five runs for Cathy O'Leary and makes return for new stable after more than a year off; trainer also runs Hamsiyann.

Useful Flat performer, winning three times and placing on a further nine occasions from 17 turf starts; took third at Gowran in April (1m4f, soft) and went one place better when beaten a neck at Musselburgh next time (2m, good); has often been frustrating, as shown by hurdles record 1-20; second eight times.
