Sole win on Flat came in 2023, although has mostly been competing over hurdles in recent times; improved markedly over poor Navan return when fourth at Roscommon last time (1m4f, good), staying on after being slowly away; down to a career low mark. |

Tried chasing twice in Ireland and was an 11l second of 18 in a 2m handicap in one of those; only had three hurdle starts for Olly Murphy and the best was the opening one when second off 3lb lower at Worcester; has to be feared in a first-time tongue-tie. |
