Two chase wins on heavy in the 2023/24 season; pulled up on Cork seasonal return but more like it at Navan next time when a runner-up (3m, soft to heavy); moderate Punchestown run next time and pulled up at Navan in February (3m, heavy); 16l ninth in a Listed handicap at Punchestown later in the month was an improvement (3m4f, heavy); Donoghue rides for first time since 2024.
