10st 7lb |
Veteran is 3-38 over hurdles, the last win coming at Punchestown (2m4f, good) in November 2024 off 84; decent fourth at Clonmel (2m4f, heavy) before dismal effort at Punchestown next time (2m3f, heavy); bounced back with rallying runner-up finish at Clonmel last time (2m, heavy); on career low mark and can't be ruled out. |

Latest effort readily ignored (saddle slipped) but showed nothing on two previous starts for current connections; theoretical encouragement for this switch to fences as a nephew of Texas Jack and Drumconvis. |
