An Owners group syndicate horse who is useful and progressive. He made his debut at Rathcannon in October 2021, winning a 3m 5y+ geldings maiden point by 3l from Pray Tell,(gave 5lb), then moved across the water and made his rules debut at Carlisle in February last year, winning a 2m1f  bumper by 1 ¼ l from Bingoo (received 5lb) and followed up over course and distance in a similar event in March beating Snowy Evening (received 7lb) ½ l. 

Reappearing at Carlisle in October, he won a 2m 4f novice hurdle by 1 ¼ l from Harjo and followed up at Bangor over 2m 7f in another novice hurdle beating Dr Kananga  (received 6lb), 9 ½ l. At Sandown in December he was third in a 2m 4f grade novice hurdle, beaten 8 1/4l by Henri The Second, and had a wind operation after that. In January this year he won a 3m grade 2 novice hurdle at Doncaster, beating Stay Away Fay 1l, then in April at Aintree was 1 ¾ l 2nd in the 3m grade 1 Sefton Novice hurdle behind Apple Away. 

He has schooled well over fences, and remains an exciting prospect.
