Ended 2025 in excellent form when runner-up on his last three runs; shaped encouragingly after seven months off when eighth of 11 in 1m1f handicap at Ayr ten days ago, leading until 1f out; should strip sharper now and this low-mileage 4yo merits serious consideration in his bid for a breakthrough victory.
