Best effort for this yard when second behind a well handicapped winner over hurdles at Clonmel in February; reverts to chasing now (won over fences for Emmet Mullins in the summer of 2024); others preferred. |

Back on song in refitted cheekpieces at Southwell (3m, good) in March, his third start for Caroline Fryer, and the form of his respectable fourth at Fakenham (2m7f, good) last month was well advertised by the winner there on Monday; not yet fully exposed as a stayer; probably won't be far away. |

Kept on for third at Fairyhouse in December (2m4f, soft), although 16l behind the winner; tailed off there next time on New Year's Day (3m2f, yielding); good effort at Naas last time when a 5.25l fourth behind the winner Let's Go Mans (3m, soft to heavy); can get involved. |

Course winner of a handicap chase in December, showing no ill-effects from an 11-month absence in beating a solid yardstick; in touch when falling two at Clonmel in January; could go well from a mark 7lb below her chase rating; talented 5lb claimer into the bargain. |
