Has won three of his seven races over fences, the latest at Kempton in February 2025 (2m4f, soft); hasn't run since a fair third at Market Rasen in September 2025 (2m5f, good) but not out of it.

3-6 over fences, the latest win gained at Kempton (2m4f, soft; made all) in February; needs to return from seven-month break in prime form to have any chance off current mark but the forecast good ground won't be a problem.

Last year's heart issues look a thing of the past as he hasn't stopped improving this campaign and was particularly impressive when making all for a 7l success at Kempton three weeks ago (2m4f, soft; fine on good); beat some notable opposition that day and a 7lb rise could have been worse; reportedly has to go right handed; big shout.
