Sole success over fences was in a mares' beginners' event at Ballinrobe in September 2024; respectable efforts here and there before finishing an excellent second in the Galway Blazers; failed to get into the Kerry National; the one to beat if she can reproduce her Galway effort.

Course winner at 15.5f; seems best on heavy ground and scored twice in those conditions earlier this year, over hurdles at Clonmel (16.5f) and over fences at Gowran (19.5f); capable off this mark and rain would boost his claims.
