Killarney maiden hurdle winner in July 2023; rated 127 in that sphere; mixed bag since and has finished well-beaten on both chase starts, over 2m4f at Kilbeggan and 23.5f at Killarney on latest; surely capable of better and the drop back in trip here should suit; gets weight from his rivals and has a chance if on a going day.
