Form & Verdict
Led towards the finish in 1m Lingfield maiden at the start of the month; may have followed up in 1m2f handicap there but for being quite badly hampered over 1f out; has looked slightly awkward but first-time cheekpieces may help in that regard and there's little doubt he has the ability to win off this mark.

Form & Verdict
Unbeaten in three starts since his debut, looking potentially very useful when returning from a near six-month break to comfortably see off two subsequent winners in a 7f Wolverhampton handicap in November; bred to stay 1m and highly likely there's more to come.

Did well on the AW in his younger days (112112) including a win over C&D, but not seen on an artificial surface since April 2023; showed a bit more when fifth of eight at Haydock (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago and is an interesting contender back on Polytrack; stable also runs Tempus.

In very good form since being upped to 1m2f, which continued when he won at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; it's a long time since he ran well on slow ground but he's in the mix if the surface isn't an issue.
