Yet to finish out of the first two in six starts; won twice in June, a maiden at Chepstow and a novice at Bath, both over 5f; good run when second over 6f at Pontefract; excellent winning effort over 6f at Ripon four weeks ago, giving 16lb to the runner-up.

Four 5f turf wins for this yard in 2025 and in good form this summer, doing well to get as close as she did from the widest draw at Chester two starts ago; however, she's 0-5 on the AW and it may be significant that she hasn't run on sand since March 2025.

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.
