Ninth start was his best yet when off the mark in ten-runner classified at Bath (1m2f, firm) 18 days ago, narrowly doing enough in a sustained duel; has tried varied headgear (blinkers last time) and that win came when tongue tied first time; handicap mark has risen 7lb but he's one to consider.

Gained both career wins around galloping tracks on sound turf (1m-1m1f); extended current losing streak to 20 at Lingfield latest, but she's back up to 1m2f for the first time since July 2022 and she does stay this far; catches the eye.
