Fourth in the Fred Winter here in 2022 but beaten 20l when just 7-1 for this race in 2023; long layoff before last season and easily best effort since was his 2m4f non-handicap win with first-time blinkers (kept since) at Clonmel last June; fell in August on his second chase start and unseated over hurdles in September; absent since and others have more pressing claims.
