Completed a hat-trick at Carlisle in April 2024 but raced only 4 times since, pulling up on first 3 occasions. Better signs at Wetherby latest, however, and he is 8 lb below his last winning mark.

Clonakilty (G)

Won 2 chases over this sort of trip last season and returned to form when good second of 9 in handicap chase (6/1) at Newcastle (20.1f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Shortlisted.
