Last time out

Finished 7 in the Howden Cross Country Chase at Punchestown on 2 May 2026. Settled in midfield - around 8th at halfway - unbalanced at the 18th and hesitant after - urged forward from three out - caught up entering the straight and unable to close - back in 7th two out - held that spot to the line without finding more.
