Three of his five hurdle wins have been in races of this type, at this venue and Ballinrobe in August 2023 and at Tramore in April on his return from a lengthy absence; disappointing handicap run at Killarney before remote second in a controversial Wexford event 13 days ago; has to be taken seriously.
