Stayed on well from the rear to finish third of six in a Yarmouth maiden (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago on his first outing since last September; looks sure to improve again on this step up in trip on AW debut.

Form & Verdict

Bumper winner at Huntingdon last October; lacked a few gears when fourth of 13 on Flat debut at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month; should be better suited by this step up in trip on AW debut and ultimately looks a nice hurdles prospect for the autumn.

Form & Verdict

Disappointing 6-4 favourite on debut in May 2025 (11.5f, turf); sole race since when putting the record straight in Newcastle maiden (1m2f, AW) in November, stretching 7l clear in the final 1f; useful prospect on that evidence.
