Raced too freely and was below form over 1m2f this month but finished second three consecutive times over 7f/1m off a mark 3lb higher than today's this spring, and has good claims here if judged on those exploits.

Dual 6f turf winner for John Quinn in 2023; not operating at same level this year but made the frame three consecutive times on AW in recent weeks, most notably when close second at Wolverhampton (7f) two starts ago; still unexposed over 1m, and may be aided by the refitted cheekpieces.

Lost out only by a nose when clear second at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last month, his second run for David Dennis, and put in good front-running shift when fifth over that C&D on latest outing; might come good for new stable soon but does not have a good turf record (unplaced all five starts).
