Bounced back with a bang when easily winning at Downpatrick (2m6f, yielding to soft) off career-low mark on return in March; failed to back that up from 10lb higher at Down Royal but remains fairly treated on pick of old form. |

Very capable on the Flat and he won his last start in this sphere when landing a Downpatrick maiden hurdle (2m3f, good) in April 2024; patchy form in nine starts on the Flat since and he refused to race on both outings when last seen in October; stable debut. |

Tardy starts have been a common theme this season but he took even more drastic action at the Curragh last time when refusing to race; generally poor efforts this year but he finished a close third behind subsequent Ascot Stakes winner Ascending at Cork in May (1m4f, good); risky proposition. |
