Five wins, two of them on turf, including 25-1 success over extended 1m6f at Bellewstown earlier this month; needed every yard that day, and his previous win was over 2m; got an 8lb rise, which is likely to prevent a follow-up; placed once in seven previous runs here.

Sole win on turf came at Fairyhouse in June 2024 (1m4f, good); latest of three AW wins came at Dundalk in November over 2m; two turf runs this term were poor and most recent Dundalk outing was not his best either.
