Last time out

Finished 5 in the BOYLE Sports Irish Grand National Chase (Extended Handicap Chase) (Grade 3) at Fairyhouse on 6 April 2026. Went straight to front - stumbled a touch five out - lost command after the following fence and dropped to third turning in - fourth soon after and unable to close two out - held that spot to the line.
