Bagged his two chase wins in 2023 at around 2m1f at Limerick and Ballinrobe, with his latest win coming off 12lb higher; out of form this year and change of stable didn't help much when tailed off at Ballinrobe latest. |

6th Oct 2023 Yielding To Soft 2m 7f 110y |
11st 4lb |
Modest overall strike-rate and had a lot of luck go his way when winning by 15l at Sligo (3m2f, soft); still, clearly in decent form and a 5lb rise shouldn't be too damaging. |

All five wins have come over hurdles but has managed useful form in defeat over fences this term; finished in front of his shorter-priced stablemate Ricky Langford (also runs here) when second at Killarney in October; tongue-tie tried when unplaced over C&D, left off now. |

Point winner; not always fluent over fences, as seen when making a bad mistake at the last at Tramore in August and unseated on his previous two outings; 5lb rise probably isn't an issue and this ground is fine but needs to jump better. |
