On a 16-race losing run but down the weights as a result and he was on the heels of the winner when third of 12 at Thirsk (7f) 11 days ago; having his first race here; thereabouts if he takes to it.

On a 15-race losing run but he's well handicapped as a result and his stable is in fine form; almost certainly needed the run when seventh of 13 over C&D four weeks ago, fading; likely to build on that and more persuasive than most.

Made a winning debut (6f, good; strong favourite) at Hamilton as a 2yo and then pitched into the Coventry Stakes for his second start; went 0-7 in handicaps in 2025 but there was the odd promising effort along the way; dropped 15lb during that period and new stable (sold out of Richard Fahey's stable for 32,000gns last October) quick to drop him in trip; could go well.
