Showed abundant promise in late 2024 on his first two chase starts and is on a competitive mark on that form; remains lightly raced and he could improve for last month's run in the Plate at Cheltenham, when finishing mid-division, but others arrive with more compelling claims; a tongue-tie is added.

Sparingly raced but has a lot of ability, making a successful chase debut over C&D (good) in November 2024 then close up in a well-contested handicap here (about 3m1f, good to soft); however, he didn't jump well when tailed off for new yard at Ascot last February and took a heavy early fall at Newcastle last month on his only start since; now goes in cheekpieces; talented but risky.
