Sole win in 22 starts came over C&D (good to firm) in June last year and now 12lb lower, but his five efforts this year (including three for this yard) don't suggest he is ready to take advantage.

Rather lost his way for Michael Attwater and finished a long way behind Dreambird Dolly for his new yard at Salisbury recently; hard to find a reason why he'll turn things round.

Didn't progress for Richard Fahey and he finished well beaten on his stable/seasonal debut here (7f) three weeks ago; drops in trip with a hood fitted; not a solid option.

Just 1-18 for Richard Fahey but the win came over C&D and off a 7lb higher mark; ended 2025 quietly though and sold for 1,200gns after latest run; risky on stable debut back from 324 days off.

Won a 5f AW event off 6lb lower in February and there was no disgrace in chasing home a Hamilton legend at that track (6f, good to firm) in returning blinkers (retained) nine days ago; he is another that cannot be discounted.

Belatedly opened account at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February and has largely remained in good form since, albeit he was a shade disappointing when only sixth of ten at Ripon (6f, good; favourite) three weeks ago; can make his presence felt.
