Winner of a Bellewstown handicap hurdle in 2023 off 89 (2m1f, good); solid 2l fourth at Tramore on chasing debut when running on well (2m, good); fell a long way from the finish at Wexford last time (2m3f, good); in the mix if that fall hasn't left mental scars.

The furthest he's been is 3m1f in Grade 1 novice at Punchestown Festival (good to yielding) last April which he won in good style, showing improved form; went close over 2m in November and although he slipped up next time and met with heavy defeats twice since, he went well enough to the home turn in Irish Gold Cup on latest; whether he'll stay 4m2f is a big question but he could outrun his odds for a long way.
