Talented hurdler placed at Grade 2 level in that sphere; 0-4 over fences and has been sparingly raced in the last two seasons; off since below par effort on debut for this yard at Wexford in May; capable but probably best watched on return to action. |

C&D winner in November 2024 but there's not been much to enthuse over since, cheekpieces fitted when a well-held third of five in 2m Catterick handicap chase four weeks ago; he needs to take a big step forward. |
