Rather quirky sort who has become a slow-starter and is 0-12 since a successful debut at the 2024 York Dante meeting but is threatening to double his tally; met traffic issues on his way to a very notable effort at this venue (7f, good) most recently, beating all bar a handicap snip who remains unbeaten and looks a Group performer in the making; shaped as if this second attempt over 1m is well worth exploring; highly respected.
