7th Jun 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-5 over hurdles but his two runs over 2m7f at Hexham (good) this spring were both perfectly respectable, and his Irish point win in 2022 bodes well for his prospects on this chasing debut. |

Respectable fifth of 14 at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) in February but well beaten at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) last month; has had a second wind op since, which needs to make a difference if he's to break his duck. |

Mistakes were costly on first two runs this term and he was pulled up at Haydock (extended 3m4f, good to soft) 24 days ago; not easy to fancy on the back of that but stamina may well have been an issue and he was hugely impressive when making all by 11l in this race last March (good to soft); might take plenty of catching, even now 15lb higher, if rediscovering that same dominant form. |
