Very useful hurdler but already a better chaser; second in a Grade 3 at Galway latest

The best of these over hurdles and now 2-3 over fences after an easy win at Ballinrobe

Maiden hurdler but a better chaser; well held by Westport Cove on their Galway clash

This is way tougher than winning a mares' race at Ballinrobe over much further

Had luck on his side here in June and nothing since to suggest he'll be winning this

Tailed off in her previous chase start and also outclassed on her hurdling form
