Went up 5lb for a course 2m3f win early in December; gave another solid display when fourth at Limerick; Fairyhouse run last time was too bad to be true, but makes it hard to be confident about his chance. |

Best effort for this yard when second behind a well handicapped winner over hurdles at Clonmel in February; reverts to chasing now (won over fences for Emmet Mullins in the summer of 2024); others preferred. |

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. |
