Sole win was in a Redcar maiden (6f, good) in May 2023; some creditable efforts on AW this year but he struggled over C&D on recent stable debut; that took his handicap record to 0-12 and others are more convincing; visor reapplied.

6f maiden winner (good) who has largely been campaigned on AW surfaces of late; well beaten back on turf at Leicester (6f, good to firm) latest; has since changed hands; drops 2lb and is not ruled out each-way if he can transfer some of his better efforts back to this surface.

Ran on well when justifying favouritism over C&D (Class 6; from 5lb lower) in November; third to Our Absent Friends next time, before being disadvantaged by a wide draw at Wolverhampton (6f) latest; this is potentially asking a bit too much.
