On a long losing run since gaining his sixth career win in a Limerick claimer in 2023; not beaten far in four 2025 outings; suffered interference in the early stages when well fancied at Gowran last time; potentially interesting with a top apprentice booked. |

Three-time AW winner, most recently at Dundalk (7f, AW) in October when trained by Charles Byrnes; third on his stable debut at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in February but he's not built on that in three starts since; unraced on ground slower than good to soft. |
