No win since 2021; has occasionally run well in defeat; improved from a run on the Flat at Navan in March when going well for this jockey (on her first ride over jumps) at Wexford last month; beaten 8l in fourth, so needs to raise his game another notch. |

Dual-purpose sort is 3-25 on the level; last scored off 4lb lower in the Ulster Cesarewitch (2m2f, good) in 2023; good run at Fairyhouse on penultimate over 1m4f but didn't back it up at Killarney on latest; may need more respite from the handicapper. |

Veteran whose last win under rules was in 2020 (won a point early in 2024); fourth of 16 at Chepstow in January may look the only positive result in his nine races this season but he was beaten 35l, so that does not persuade; not even with his 37lb fall in the weights this term. |

Beaten a nose here (2m, soft) in September 2024 off 1lb lower and gave further encouragement that year, but that promise has not been fulfilled and his jumps career (latest start two months ago) has gone badly the wrong way; first-time blinkers replace his usual hood. |
