Showed that he retained spark when fourth of five at Ayr (3m, soft) in January, when he made a bad mistake and jumped to the right at that left-handed track; goes right-handed today; however, tailed off in Grade 2 novice hurdle since and best form has come on soft/heavy going; a visor goes on. |

Both chase wins have been in quite valuable 2m1f handicaps (yielding), most recently at Fairyhouse in November 2024; below best this season, however, and needs to be revitalised by this switch to the banks; ground should suit. |

One of two for trainer; Leopardstown St Stephen's Day handicap chase winner in 2023 (2m1f, soft); returned to form when winning a Fairyhouse handicap in November and beaten a short head at Leopardstown in race she won year prior; out of form in three runs since and still 6lb above last winning mark; likely best watched for now. |
