Ended 2025 with a pair of Class 6 wins on AW (7f/6f); his progress has continued back on turf, making all in 6f handicaps at Redcar and Doncaster; another 5lb higher today and also steps up into a Class 4 but he is still more appealing than many.

J: Billy Garritty

Prominent racer who has shown more than enough in her nursery runs to think she can find a similar race; neither trip nor ground should be an issue and the new cheekpieces could be the catalyst for more.
