Better known as a four-time winner on the Flat; maiden hurdle winner in 2023; ran out at the third-last when clear in a hurdle race at Fairyhouse in April 2024; returned from a long absence with a run in December; should be sharper now. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; fairly useful hurdler who's won from the front in three of his last four Flat starts, including at Navan (1m5f, good to yielding) and Killarney (2m1f, soft; Almuhit fourth) in his two runs this season; the latter was in fine style and a major step forward with the step up in trip, so this improving 5yo is one to take seriously despite his rise in the weights and a much stronger race. |

Best hurdles form was in 2022, and he has done most of his racing on the Flat in recent years; second at Clonmel last September has been the only bright spot since a 2024 Chester win; no merit in his recent Navan run; may struggle to run up to an official rating of 117. |
