Dual winner in Ireland for Natalia Lupini but he struggled for Tim Easterby in 2024/25; made a good start for this yard when second of nine at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in September but he was disappointing following a slow start over 6f there 16 days ago; needs to bounce back.

Three 6f wins on AW this year and he only narrowly failed to improve on a very modest turf strike-rate (now 1-35) when just touched off at Hamilton (5f, good) this month; no serious impact at Catterick (7f) since but ran well in headgear in Ireland and cheekpieces are now refitted.
