11st 4lb |
Three listless performances since returning from 13 months out; 12lb below his last winning mark now, but no good thing to capitalise. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 55y |
11st 3lb |
Winner of a maiden hurdle at this track in January 2024 (2m, soft); best run since then was last time at this track again when third of 18 in a valuable handicap chase (2m4f, yielding); hasn't looked a natural jumper of a fence but appears to have a liking for this place and capable of a big run. |

Mixing hurdling and chasing in 2024; beat Shadow Rider by 2.5l at Cork (2m3f, soft to heavy) in March off 126; beaten 5.75l off revised mark of 132 subsequently at Punchestown; well-beaten on latest after a break at Chepstow; will come on for that but has a bit to prove off his current rating |
