Yet to win for new connections but he has run stormers here (7f/1m, both good ground) on his last two starts, bumping into a handicap blot on the first occasion and going down by just a neck two weeks ago; slow starts are a problem though and he will need things to go his way; cheekpieces now join the tongue tie.

Two wins for Dermot Weld last summer and went close at Chester (7f, good) last month, when racing prominently on his second stable start; disappointing at Thirsk ten days later but that may have come too soon; not written off.

Ex-Joseph O'Brien; he's dropping down the weights and is one to watch in the betting but he's failed to beat a rival at Chester on his first two starts for this yard and a major turnaround is necessary.

Capitalised on a golden opportunity for easy win at 8-13 in a seller at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; that may have given his confidence a boost and he's unexposed in the retained tongue-tie/cheekpieces, but he's opposable on what he's achieved in handicaps this season.

Form & Verdict
He's on a competitive mark on his best form for Andrew Balding, which includes a good third of 22 over C&D (good) last May; market check advised on first run since last July, having been gelded and changed hands for 62,000gns in the interim, but he needs to be at the very top of his game.

Back from wind surgery with 7f novice win on Polytrack in 2025 and he's well treated on the pick of his later form on turf; probably handles Tapeta but he dropped right out on yard debut at York in June, following nearly a year off the track, and it's no easy matter assessing him today.

Won a Kempton novice on his return in March and he's been placed in four handicaps since, including when third of 22 at York (7f, good) on his penultimate run; never dangerous when third on AW at Lingfield last time but that was behind an improver who made all and he's respected on this step back up in trip.

Snapped a losing sequence in big field at Newbury (6f, good) in April and good second there (6f, good) since; won over C&D in 2024 2yo campaign and he should be fine back up to 7f; bang in form and he's one to consider.

Campaigned over as far as 10.3f and this will be his first 6f run since his 2yo debut; well beaten in the Lincoln on his reappearance (1m, good to soft); dangerous mark judged on best 2025 effort (7f, good to soft); trip is a query but Oisin Murphy a notable booking.
