Classy performer for Willie Mullins; sent off favourite for the Supreme Novices' in 2024, which was when his limitations started to become apparent; some good runs, mixed with some dire ones, over fences; bought for 45,000gns in April; interesting to see if there's any spark left in him, and does run well fresh, but best watched on stable debut
