Free-going sort who did very well at 1m4f-2m on good/good to firm for Ian Williams in summer 2022, including touched off by Trawlerman in the Ebor; however, he pulled up lame that September and was absent for 686 days prior to finishing well held at Ascot last August; off for a further 14 months ahead of this return for new trainer; this 9yo is best watched unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.
