Form & Verdict
Confirmed the promise of his Kempton debut (1m) in January when cosily seeing off his 11 rivals over the same C&D four weeks ago; the latter race developed into something of a sprint but the first two pulled clear of the short-priced favourite; strong contender despite giving 6lb away all round.

Progressive in three starts over 1m on the AW this year, winning novices at Kempton and Southwell; more will be needed giving away weight to all his rivals on turf/handicap debut, but he remains open to further improvement.

Stamina on the dam's side and he was outpaced from 2f out in the Kempton novice won by Suspicion four weeks ago (33-1); should be more streetwise this time but not obviously fancied to turn the tables.

Shaped with promise at Sandown on his debut (7f, soft) but unable to build on it when favourite at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last October; still has time to deliver on the debut effort and there is encouragement for AW on breeding.

Slowly away and no impact when fifth at Haydock (1m, good to firm) last month on first handicap start; however, he showed promise on soft ground on his debut last September and perhaps he'll tap back into that when reverting to a slow surface; trainer does well here; wears a first-time hood.

Useful juvenile hurdler for James Owen in 2024-25 season; won twice, and stayed on well for third (best of the home team) in the Fred Winter; AW winner, 0-6 on turf, placed four times; makes Irish debut after a long layoff and probably needs a bit further than this.
