Finished sixth in a 7f Curragh maiden on his 2yo debut, a race where the five to beat him ended 2025 rated 126, 103, 94, 67 and 92; left Dermot Weld for 6,000gns last summer and he has finished out the back in two 1m runs here this winter; drops in trip for his handicap debut; betting useful.

Won a weak 6f event at Newcastle on his handicap debut in February; not so good in either run since, especially when beaten a long way at Ripon 12 days ago on his return to turf; only of interest if backed.

Unexposed 4yo who won over C&D on handicap debut earlier this month on first run over 6f (previous runs had been at 7f/1m); this looks a tougher race and is 5lb higher, but should improve.

The most encouraging of her three runs came when fourth of seven, beaten 11l, in an 8.6f novice at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; potential improver now handicapping at a low level and she is bred to be a sprinter; worth a market check.

Scored off today's mark over 5f on Tapeta in November and is also suited by fast turf but returned from four-month break with disappointing 6f run 19 days ago and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing.

Form & Verdict
Won a C&D handicap off 21lb higher just over two years ago; ended 2024 quietly and he was well beaten in four runs for this yard last year; been given a chance by the handicapper on AW so couldn't completely dismiss, for all there are obvious risks.

Much better than this on AW in his pomp but there hasn't been much to celebrate in five runs for this yard, including returned to AW when last of seven over C&D two weeks ago; another ease in grade today but he's risky.
