Form & Verdict
A short head behind Miss Brazen when seventh at York last time, having made a winning reappearance at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) earlier in May; those efforts were an improvement on his 2yo form and he's bred to do even better in due course; one of two strong contenders trained by Michael Dods.

A wind operation in October 2023 proved successful and he had some smart sprint form last year, notably a narrow win at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good; made all); ran well off this mark at Southwell when last seen 356 days ago; upset in the stalls and withdrawn at Goodwood in May; this is a tough race in which to make his return.

Has run just four times and he looked a useful prospect when easily winning a Pontefract novice (5f, good to firm) on the third of them last summer; only third of eight when odds-on for York nursery two months later, but he's been gelded since and may well have untapped potential; interesting.
