Showed a bit more at Stratford second time out but not enough to recommend here; has worn a hood for both his races.

Second foal from a fair Flat/hurdle winner; beaten about 18l when sixth of eight in good-ground junior bumper at Aintree in November (hooded, as today) but this race looks easier and Sean Bowen is booked.

Won a valuable 1m2f Goodwood novice for former yard in 2025 but lost her form latterly; the best of four runs for this yard came over C&D last time and can do better so considered.

Won 1m2f Goodwood novice last year but safely held afterwards in handicaps for James Horton; bought for 5,000gns in December and two AW runs have been modest; seems best watched.

Form & Verdict
Twice placed over shorter at Dundalk in the spring before changing hands and gelded; edged left, away from the rail, at Windsor for his new yard a fortnight ago (first-time tongue-tie; made most; Adalo well behind); anti-clockwise course should help.
