Spectacular late run to land valuable auction race (6f, good to soft) in October 2024 is starting to fade from the memory but he won his first race since when taking a Wolverhampton handicap in November; narrow defeat at Newcastle (also 7f, AW) in February was up with his best form and respectable efforts on last two starts; not dismissed back on turf.

Three turf wins and one on Tapeta (unraced here); posted career-best RPR when going down narrowly on Newcastle reappearance and got little luck in running when under 3l away at Wolverhampton; unraced beyond 7f but he gives the impression that this far could suit.

Below par at Windsor last time on first run since being gelded; however, perhaps the fast ground didn't suit and he'd previously shown ability at Brighton (5.2f, good) and in France (5.5f, very soft) in these blinkers (which go back on along with a new tongue-tie); a possible if conditions suit.
