Promising debut over C&D in May 2025 before easily scoring at Dundalk by 3.25l; ordinary form, but looked potentially useful that day; off over a year and would be a smart effort to beat these on handicap debut.

Most consistent sprinter, scoring over C&D earlier in season and battled on well to land Rockingham Handicap (5f) in June; subsequently third of 20 to Sondad in Scurry over further and good third to Bear On The Run over C&D latest; model of consistency but could be vulnerable off likely strong pace and 4lb out of handicap.
