Placed form in maidens in 2023 over shorter trips; did not appear in 2024; no show over 2m2f at this venue before profiting from a step up to 3m at Wexford; could be in the mix again off 5lb higher. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 2f 185y |

Dual winner and had every chance when taking a heavy late fall at Leopardstown (2m4f, yielding) two runs ago; that was her second tumble on the trot and was perhaps thinking of those when below par a month ago; however, the ability is there to go close. |

Three hurdle wins in Ireland during 2023 but a close second over fences at Catterick (about 1m7f, good) in January came from out of the blue and hasn't been repeated since; returns to hurdles with a cloud hanging over him. |

Seemingly back in good form when close second to short-odds favourite at Catterick (1m7f, good) on New Year's Day, his third start for Joanne Foster, but pulled up there twice since and now has it all to prove again; tongue-tie (worn on penultimate start) refitted. |
