Made a winning debut in a four-runner auction event at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) in June 2022 and, having been gelded, he twice went close in nurseries over this C&D in November of that year; not seen since, but remains unexposed and the booking of Oisin Murphy suggests he's unlikely to want for fitness.

His only win came in a 7f Doncaster maiden as a 2yo; struggled for David Evans thus far but he's dropped 22lb since August and many of those runs have come over an inadequate 6f; the booking of Rossa Ryan and the addition of a visor point to a better showing this evening; confidence would increase if backed.
