Last time out

Finished 6 in the Weatherbys Stallion Book 'National Hunt' Novices' Handicap Hurdle at Wincanton on 4 December 2025. Settled just behind the pace early - hit the front approaching the second before edging clear then surrendering the advantage 3 out after an untidy jump - dropped back and needed urging before 2 out - unable to respond and well beaten at the finish.
