Form & Verdict
Went back-to-back at Hamilton last season (1m1f, good; maiden/handicap) and unlikely that he gave his true running when a beaten favourite at York in September (1m2f); held a Cambridgeshire entry back then and he retains plenty of potential as a 4yo, especially at this trip (dam stayed well).

Cambridgeshire entrant who is on a hat-trick after back-to-back 1m1f wins at Hamilton, accounting for a solid yardstick on handicap debut (good); could easily take a 5lb rise in his stride and today's extra distance is likely to suit (dam stayed well).

Trained for the previous three seasons by Dermot Weld, winning a maiden at Cork (1m2f, soft) in April 2024 from nine starts; behind last autumn on last two outings, which preceded a 32,000gns sale and gelding operation; down the weights and has an attractive mark for new connections to work with if they can spark a revival.

Off the mark at the fourth attempt in a maiden at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last September and he reappeared with a close second on last month's handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW); that latest form reads well and this unexposed 4yo is a major player up 2lb.

Progressive form in his four maidens, culminating in September in his second at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) and his win in a four-runner race at Brighton (7f, good to firm); gelded since; likely to stay and bring potential to this handicap debut and his strength in the market can prove instructive.

Ran just three times last year, winning at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) on the second occasion, and soft ground there may not have suited when last seen; also unproven on good to soft; this lightly raced 6yo is capable of having a big say if fully tuned up and handling conditions.
