2-2 (heavy/good) prior to finishing second in two Listed races last autumn (1m4f/1m2f, very soft/good to soft); reappeared with convincing Listed win at Kempton (1m2f, AW), an improved performance which bodes very well for his future prospects; acquired by Wathnan Racing since that last run; respected.

Has endured an abbreviated four-race career under Callum Rodriguez but has shown smart form, ending last year with second-place finishes in Listed events at Saint-Cloud (1m4f, very soft) and Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft); no problem with the five-month absence and is half-brother to two AW winners including Global Giant, who won this race in 2021; major player.

Ready winner of novices on first two starts, latterly seeing off the really smart Saddadd at Newbury (1m2f, good) on reappearance in April; lost his unbeaten record but advanced his RPR again when edged out by fellow progressive 3yo Best Secret in 1m4f Saint-Cloud Listed race (very soft) seven weeks ago; the return to 1m2f won't inconvenience this strong traveller; leading claims with further improvement likely.

Upped to 1m2f for wins when favourite at Chelmsford (AW) and Redcar (good to firm) on last two outings; up another 5lb and 1m1f may not help, so strongly did he stay on last time, but he is progressing well and has just two to beat; the hat-trick beckons.

Consistent; stepped up in trip, duly obliging at Chelmsford (1m2f Class 5; 85-40 favourite) a fortnight ago; reverts to turf with more improvement necessary (in this higher grade) to double up from a 4lb higher mark; it's possible that the task is achievable though; merits respect.
