Form & Verdict
A maiden after ten starts but was nearly 5l clear of the third when a close second to gambled-on winner at Lingfield (1m5f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) on Wednesday; gets another chance off the same mark here and remains unexposed over this sort of trip; good chance.

Tends to ruin his chances by pulling too hard, as was the case when third at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last time but that was a fair effort all things considered in the first-time visor (retained); needs to settle but won off 11lb higher in March 2023 (AW, 1m6f) and has a big run in him; considered.

Yet to add to his 2m Tapeta win in January 2022 but proved he retains some ability when 50-1 third (promoted from fourth) in amateur riders' race at Doncaster (1m6f, good to soft) this month; contender if able to build on that performance.
