Came back from a long layoff to start the campaign with back-to-back handicap wins at Navan (soft-to-heavy) and Leopardstown (yielding); attempted to make all in a race of this type at Cork but was found wanting after a mistake two out; fitted with cheekpieces now.

Upwardly mobile hurdler has returned from a long layoff with back-to-back 2m handicap wins at Navan (sft-hvy) and Leopardstown (yielding); now rated 113 and there could still be more to come from this 6yo; big chance if this doesn't come too soon.

Definite signs of ability in maidens and a bumper in 2024; returned from 14 months' absence in fine fettle to land 2m Navan handicap 12 days ago, up with pace throughout and seeing it out strongly despite fluffing the last; 8lb rise looks workable and big player.

Definite signs of ability in maidens and a bumper in 2024; market can guide on return from a long absence on handicap debut.
