4-44 on Flat; won valuable handicaps at Leopardstown and Ascot (Shergar Cup Mile) in 2022 but not at the same level last term when placed just once in eight starts; stable in form but two recent Flat runs have been uninspiring; switch to hurdling comes quite late in his career, but might produce a revival.
