The last of three chase wins came in 2024; was placed twice on the Flat this summer before being second over fences at Killarney lately; poor at Galway since so has to rebound.

Latest of three wins over fences was in 2024, but ran well on the flat a couple of times this summer and chasing second at Killarney was encouraging too; Danny Mullins on board for just the second time.
