The 1995/96 season – the first without a claim – turned out to be his last, realising just two early season winners from a total of 50 mounts. He won on novice hurdler Dubai Falcon at Bangor on August 12, and handicap chaser Lodestone Lad at Fakenham on October 20. He finished third on Kadastrof in the Knights Royal Hurdle at Ascot in December and seventh on him in Newbury’s Tote Gold Trophy in February. He appears to have had his last ride – or one of his last rides – when pulling up on Hurry Up in the North West Racing Club Handicap Chase at Bangor on 18 May 1996.
