Last time out

Finished 1 in the Visit Irish Bloodstock Sales With ITM Handicap Hurdle at Exeter on 7 April 2026. Led throughout from the start - dictated a steady tempo - opened up after the third-last - hit the second-last but quickly balanced up - drove on strongly before the final fence to score readily.
