Two course wins and two short-priced defeats since returning from long layoff, latterly when blowing out behind Anisoptera over C&D; maybe found the rise in the weights beyond him there but is capable of much better.

4-12 on AW, with the first three of those wins at this track (two C&D) but they were in 2023; won at Lingfield this February and close third over C&D in May but he was tailed off in his other two Flat runs (one here) this year, which adds a cautionary note; wears headgear first time.

Well beaten in three runs last summer but this brother to the yard's useful C&D winner Endless Acres came in for support on his handicap debut recently; raced very wide off the home turn that night and going right-handed may help; has some potential.
