Form & Verdict
Won a turf claimer in Ireland and landed two AW handicaps (1m/7f) for current connections at the start of 2026; has found life harder since but in some good 3yo only races and latest fifth of ten at Sandown (7f, good) in this headgear combination was creditable; respected taking on his elders.

Won once in Ireland and three times for George Boughey, twice on the AW and in a 7f Epsom handicap on final start for that yard; later sold for 28,000gns; had always worn a hood (also effective in tongue-tie) but went in blinkers on stable debut at Goodwood recently and raced too freely up front; now goes in an eyeshield; bit risky.

Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 1lb higher; also good third of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap in May and better than eighth of 11 might suggest at Beverley ten days later, fading late after racing too keenly; Mason Paetel has won on him before; runner-up once from two outings over C&D and enters calculations.

Made the breakthrough in his first turf handicap when scoring at Haydock (good) last July, and he was back down to that same mark when a resurgent third at Wolverhampton (again 7f, AW) last month; often races freely and this first crack at 6f looks well worth a go; unproven away from a sound surface but he's otherwise interesting.

Found the race not run to suit at Epsom early last month, when hanging left, but then pulled way too hard in front on his Tapeta debut latest; that was far from the first time he'd over-raced and much will hinge on how he settles early from the inside stall.

One win from five handicap runs, when making all over 7f at Haydock last summer; looked capable of finding some improvement when a never-nearer fourth of ten at Epsom (7f) in June on second run back from a layoff, despite not handling the track; acts on Polytrack but unraced on Tapeta.

Made all over C&D (good to soft) last September on final run for Andrew Balding; failed to build on AW reappearance for new yard when only eighth of 16 over C&D but it was a competitive 0-100 at the Derby meeting and she should find life easier at this level.
