New to the yard in December 2022.

Bought by Simon Cox at the Derby Sale in Ireland.

He switched to fences and got off the mark in good style, winning by 8l at Leicester (5th December). He finished 4th when stepping up to 3m 1f at Catterick (28th December).

He made it two from three over fences with a stout staying win at Sedgefield (26th January). He fell at the final fence when out of contention at Carlisle (17th February).

Reappearing over hurdles, he ran a stormer, going down by less than 0.5l in 3rd at Warwick (19th November). He tried a marathon trip, but his chances weren’t helped by jumping right when finishing 5th at Kelso (7th December).

He put up a career best when going down narrowly after 3m5f of the Surrey National at Lingfield (19th January). He was pulled up in the Devon National at Exeter (20th February) and it was the same outcome in the Midlands National at Uttoxeter (14th March).
