  Settled midfield early - 6th at halfway - clipped a hurdle three out then dropped away entering straight - couldn't find more and finished well beaten

• Pos 2 12 Mar Limerick

  Set the pace early before being overtaken and settling second - pressed the front-runner into the straight looking strong - hit the front again before 2 out - drawn level 2 out and pushed along - pipped by a whisker before the last - stayed on to the line but couldn't overhaul the winner - finished second

• Pos 1 18 Feb Punchestown

  Settled in second early - moved far ahead of the rest of the field - hit the front from the 6th - small stumble at the 4th out - opened up a big margin moving nicely into the straight - pulled up sharply on the run-in - gap narrowed near the finish but held on comfortably

• Pos 1 12 Jan Punchestown

  Settled behind the front-runner - still second at halfway - improved smoothly to hit the front entering the straight - driven and put daylight between rivals inside the final furlong - stayed on strongly to win comfortably
