Improving chaser he made his debut at Dromahane in December 2021 in a 3m 4year old geldings maiden point, falling at half way, behind Inch House, then in April 2022, over course and distance in a 5year old maiden, won by 5 ½ l from Old Beginnings.. He moved across the water to Lucinda Russell and made his UK debut at Hexham in October 2022, finishing 4th in a 2m bumper beaten 4 ½ l by Rolling River (received 1 lb).
Off until January 2024, he reappeared at Ayr in a 2m maiden hurdle, finishing 2nd beaten 7 ½ l by Joshua Des Flos ( gave 5 lb), then at Ayr in February in a 2m 4f maiden hurdle, fell at the last when in front by 2l. Next at Kelso in March he won a 2m 5f maiden hurdle by 11l from Joie More, and reappeared in November last year at Newbury, finishing 5th, beaten 17 in a 2m limited novice handicap chase behind Kalif Du Berlais ( gave 4 lb).
He then won a 2m 3f handicap chase at Wetherby in December beating Glory and Honour (received 2lb) 19 l, then in January at Windsor in January this year fell in a 3m handicap chase behind Hearakles Westwood . In February at Kelso he won a 2m 7f limited novice handicap chase by 9 ½ l from Dare To shout (gave 10lb), then finished the season with victory at Cheltenham in March winning the 3m 1f Ultima Premier handicap chase by 11l from The Changing Man ( gave 13 lb).
Highly regarded, his early target is the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury in November, but he could be better than a handicapper by the end of the season.
