Big-field Fairyhouse handicap hurdle winner on New Year's Day 2025 off 1lb higher (3m1f, yielding to soft); well beaten in final starts for Liam Cusack, but his fourth at Punchestown on stable debut was a positive (2m7f, heavy); 100-30 favourite at Downpatrick last time but was never travelling; questions to answer now. |
