Yet to win over fences; not easy to fancy after being pulled-up at Tramore last week when jumped poorly. |

15th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
10st 9lb |
Better than ever last year, winning over hurdles twice, including here (2m6f, yielding); 0-12 chasing but stayed on for third over C&D in May after racing wide; and would have got closer at Wexford last time but for repeated jumping errors; place chance if jumps better. |

Better than ever last summer, winning over hurdles at Tramore and Sligo; 0-11 chasing though, staying on third at Tramore on May return, having raced wide; not one to totally rule out but hard to see him playing a major role. |
