Showed some ability in bumpers last year but hasn't built upon that over hurdles; a decent effort on yard debut at Galway but was tailed-off at Gowran since. |

30th Sep 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 50y |

Hasn't built on the promise he showed in bumpers in early 2022; no improvement in handicaps but it was a step back in the right direction at Galway 19 days ago when beaten 8l on his yard debut; might have finished closer without a mistake at the last and entitled to come on for that first run of the campaign; could go well. |
