Won a maiden at Nottingham (8.5f, good) last October and doubled his tally when landing a handicap on soft ground over that same C&D in first-time blinkers two months ago; now 8lb higher but this lightly raced 4yo should still have more to offer; stable won this in 2022.

Improved with each run as a 3yo, getting off the mark in a C&D maiden last October (good ground); couldn't land a blow on his seasonal/handicap debut at Ayr (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, but still has potential and blinkers could help unlock it.

Made debut last September and improved with each of his first three runs, winning at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in October when last seen; Newmarket trainer Roger Varian has a very healthy 29% strike-rate here and this well-bred 4yo has considerable potential off his opening mark.
