Impressive over 2m5f at Fairyhouse in December on second chase start; two lesser runs have followed in Grade 3s and there remains a question mark regarding stamina; however, Gordon Elliott and Rob James won this with a 7yo novice in 2020 and he's not ruled out in view of the Fairyhouse promise.

Two hurdle wins came on good in 2024 and he's 0-7 since switching to chasing but has been placed five times, best effort coming over this course and distance a year ago when second in competitive handicap off 133; bit disappointing as odds-on fav when beaten 12l 25 days ago but should come on for that and has an experience edge.

Both hurdle wins came on good ground at about 2m; yet to score in six starts over fences but rated 11lb higher in this sphere courtesy of some good runs in defeat, including when a 15l fourth in the Kerry National at Listowel in September (3m, yielding); tailed off when pulled up at Ascot (3m, good) when last seen in November; top-rated over fences and goes well fresh.

Both hurdle wins were at about 2m and others saw out the trip stronger when upped to 3m for the Kerry National at Listowel (yielding); however, that's looking a good renewal as two of those ahead of him were last week's Cheltenham winner Three Card Brag and French Dynamite who has since won a Grade 3; even before that run he had shown himself to be a better chaser than hurdler and, still only a 6yo, this trip is worth persevering with for now; interesting.
