Form & Verdict
Failed to win for previous yard but off the mark on stable debut at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) last month; didn't build on that under a penalty at Pontefract 20 days ago and now drops back to 1m2f; unexposed over middle distances and holds claims.

Fair Flat racer; yet to make a significant impact over hurdles but was given a lot to do before finishing well for third over C&D (good) on handicap debut three weeks ago, and his recent Flat run was perfectly respectable.

0-16 but he's been in the first three on five occasions; runner-up at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) at the beginning of May and was beaten only a length when fourth of six over that C&D 19 days ago; steps back up in trip with the visor added; likely to go well once again.

Had a productive time of things in 2025 when the visor went on, winning on four occasions, including over this C&D last June; well beaten on the AW at Newcastle in November and he was too free on his comeback run at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; may take a step forward from that but will need to.

Had a highly productive time on turf last season including four wins (1m1f/1m2f) and four seconds; struggled in his hat-trick bid in November but that was on AW and he still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form; interesting contender who needs a close look on return.

Back to form when gaining first win for this yard at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) 17 days ago, having dropped to a handy mark; 3lb rise still leaves him looking well treated on some of last year's form for Karl Burke; respected.
