No better than midfield in three sprint novice runs in the latter part of 2025 and his opening mark looks tough on that evidence; looks the type his trainer will do well with now handicapping though and a much more prominent showing could be on the cards.

Cheekpieces had a positive effect early in the year and he switches to a first-time hood tonight off the back of a below-par effort at Leicester; should be happier back on the AW under Freddie Robson, who's currently a combined 2-7 under both codes.

Off the mark at the sixth attempt when landing a Chelmsford handicap (1m2f, AW) last month; justified support with that convincing win but he was only fifth of ten in his follow-up bid at Wolverhampton (9.4f); has bit to prove again after that and he's struggled in two previous runs on turf.
