Second runner for yard; hurdle and chase winner has been regressive in both those spheres since last autumn; blinkers replace the visor worn last time; needs to turn a corner. |

Won his beginners' chase here in April 2024 but no joy since and he was pulled up when last seen in a Down Royal handicap chase in February; new headgear combination needs to spark. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Three hurdle wins in Ireland during 2023 but a close second over fences at Catterick (about 1m7f, good) in January came from out of the blue and hasn't been repeated since; returns to hurdles with a cloud hanging over him. |

Seemingly back in good form when close second to short-odds favourite at Catterick (1m7f, good) on New Year's Day, his third start for Joanne Foster, but pulled up there twice since and now has it all to prove again; tongue-tie (worn on penultimate start) refitted. |
