Form & Verdict
Kickstarted 2026 with wins at Wolverhampton (6f) and Lingfield (7f) and signed off for James Owen with a creditable sixth of ten in 7f Southwell handicap four weeks ago; joined new yard for 1,800 gns and can't be ruled out in a change of headgear.

Six of his eight wins have been on the AW, the most recent coming in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield (1m) in March on his first start for Laura Mongan; down the field in two outings for this stable, however, and others have stronger claims; hood on and cheekpieces discarded.

Refitted with a visor when making all over 1m2f here in February and didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fifth of nine over C&D 12 days ago, caught out wide; blinkers go on now and he's a likely player off an unchanged mark.

Rattled off a hat-trick in 1m handicap at Southwell in January but her more recent form is not so encouraging, retried in cheekpieces when beating just one at Wolverhampton (8.5f) 17 days ago on her final run for Ian Williams; since changed hands for 1,600 gns and needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence.
