First run since leaving Noel Meade in Ireland for £70,000 in May; a pretty useful jumper for him (second on chase debut two weeks earlier) and won a 1m4f maiden in April 2025 in his latest Flat race; unexposed in this sphere (makes AW debut) and not written off.

Won 4yo maiden hurdle at Punchestown last June on good ground; placed in novice events at Bellewstown and Galway; failed to sustain that form in two outings before being left off in the autumn; Flat win over 1m4f came after a lengthy break, so could go well here.

Finally got head in front after 19 attempts when landing Downpatrick maiden hurdle last month and has since followed it up with a novice hurdle and chase victory; needs to prove as effective on the Flat but didn't run badly in 1m3f maiden in April on ground softer than ideal; could be on a decent mark.
