Off the mark at the 14th attempt when making all over C&D (Barleybrown second) on recent stable debut; back up 3lb but his confidence should be boosted after that success and he's still unexposed on AW; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Four C&D wins in 2024 (including a Class 5); unfortunate (hampered) not to justify market support when runner-up to Dinah Myte here in June; excuse - bled from nose - next time; recent Southwell run (fifth) should have him spot on for this.
