Won 6f novice (heavy) here as 2yo but a long way from repeating that promise in 2025 and now tries something new, a drop in trip in first-time headgear.

All races at 6f; progressive 2yo who ended the season with a novice win at Leicester (heavy) but he's had a very slow start to 2025 and has been gelded since last seen in May; some questions to answer over new trip.

Fair third on debut at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) last August then won at Kempton (6f, AW), before good third of six in the Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, soft; beaten just over 5l); this half-brother to Group 1 winner Sioux Nation is open to further improvement and is not discounted.
