Off for three years after winning a Thurles maiden hurdle in November 2019; no show in three beginners' chases but much more encouraging third to Soloman Lane in 2m4f Punchestown handicap last month, mistake at the last proving costly; again let down by jumping when faller two out at Fairyhouse when holding every chance; on a competitive mark but jumping a concern.
