Useful bumper form in 2023, winning at Down Royal; hurdling career so far hasn't matched up, Limerick handicap third at Christmas (heavy) his best effort; pulled a shoe and suffered an overreach when pulled up in similar (but weaker) event in February; tongue-tie added now; can't rule out but may want it softer.

Useful bumper form in 2023, second at Listowel, beat a Gordon Elliott-trained favourite at Down Royal; fell on hurdling debut last May and failed to make much impact in three subsequent maiden attempts; third over C&D at Christmas suggests he is getting the hang of things (subsequent winner Marelly back in seventh); can win a race of this standard.

Kept on for third in soft-ground Down Royal bumper for Gordon Elliott in 2023 but left that stable after two very disappointing runs; now back over hurdles for new yard; hooded for first time; probably best watched.
