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.

Bombed when among the favourites on comeback and is best judged on his Ripon second a month ago; hard to know the worth of that, however, with him finishing well held by the favourite having led against the rail; market useful.

Capable of better than he's shown on his last two starts at York, unsuccessfully tried over 1m then visored (left off today) in a higher grade; has possibilities on his close second to Circle Of Trust over C&D (soft) in June, albeit the latter pulled out extra when challenged; not ruled out.
