Last time out

Finished 2 in the McCarthy's Irish Bar Lexington Handicap Steeplechase at Tramore (IRE) on 16 August 2026. Went straight to front early - overtaken shortly after and slipped to 4th by halfway - stumbled 3 out - worked back into 2nd approaching 3 out - driven and dropped that spot before 2 out - roused again and closed up before last - kept going for the runner-up spot but no answer to the winner.
