Seven Flat wins include over C&D, and more recently on the AW in December; trip inadequate on seasonal return here in April and has since been pulled up over hurdles; champion jockey booked but veteran appears vulnerable.

Seven-time Flat winner won a Leopardstown maiden hurdle in March 2023 (2m, good to yielding) but generally moderate form over hurdles since then; the same can be said of his recent outing on the level at Leopardstown last month.
