Bumper and maiden hurdle winner in 2024 hasn't really built on that promise; ran a fine race on second chase start at Punchestown in December but not as good since; bled when pulled-up last time at Fairyhouse so questions now.

J: Darragh O’Keeffe

T: Henry De Bromhead

Bumper and maiden hurdle winner; best chase effort came over 2m7f on heavy in a Punchestown beginners' on penultimate when 3.75l behind the now 142-rated Kurasso Blue (received 8lb); not as good at Gowran latest (2m4f, heavy) but could be on a nice mark for handicap debut based on that Punchestown run.

OR: 139

Form & Verdict
Several near misses before getting off the mark in spectacular fashion over 3m7f at Punchestown in April; up 12lb for that and was unable to make any impression in the Midlands National at Kilbeggan; far from an easy task here conceding weight over a trip possibly short of his best but clearly a big player.

Went close over fences several times before an emphatic win over 3m7f at Punchestown in April; up 12lb for that and was unable to make any impression in the Midlands National at Kilbeggan; no match for a smart type in a novice chase at Killarney a month ago.

Several near misses before getting off the mark in spectacular fashion over 3m7f at Punchestown in April; up 12lb for that and extreme distances may well be what he wants, but this trip should be fine and he is a leading contender.
