Useful over middle distances at his best on Flat for Andrew Balding; 20,000gns buy in September 2023 and had a second wind operation this March; showed some ability on hurdles debut over C&D this July but needs to build markedly on that; often hooded on Flat and it returns today.

Useful Flat-racer over middle-distance trips for Andrew Balding; not seen since disappointing run in September (changed hands for 20,000gns soon afterwards) but still a very interesting recruit to hurdling; had another wind op (his second) in March.

J: Jason Watson

T: Andrew Balding

Just the one win (a maiden) from ten starts but he performed with credit in some good races last season and did so again on reappearance this May; disappointing favourite next time and given wind surgery soon afterwards; probably needs to return with a career best.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Just the one win to his name but he performed with great credit in some good races last season and his return to action at Chester wasn't without hope either; high in the weights but could still have more to offer; shaped well on Polytrack as a 2yo.
