Won a big handicap at the Curragh in October 2024 (1m2f, good) which was his last success; beaten 7l into second back there in June but then found trouble at Galway and never had a chance from where he was early doors at Leopardstown nine days ago.

Last win was in a premier handicap at the Curragh in October 2024 (1m2f, good); mark remains 4lb above that last success; made a pleasing start to Flat campaign with Curragh second; mid-division at Galway after meeting trouble; market could provide clues.
