All four wins on the AW (rated 4lb higher than on turf) including one over C&D; went close at Redcar (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate start, but is without a success since August 2022; others make greater appeal.

Did well to go close at Redcar (5f) two weeks ago considering he probably didn't have the ideal track position; now 0-9 for current yard and 7lb higher back on AW but still looks well treated on historical data.

Twice successful in 5f novices (one on Tapeta); not great this year but the signs were more encouraging when runner-up at Catterick (5f), albeit in a field of four; possibilities but others appeal more.

Right back to her best when placed at Thirsk and Haydock before faring less well in a competitive handicap at the Ebor meeting; in calmer waters here but having only her second run on the AW.

Ended 2022 on a high and she's continued the good work, albeit without winning, this season; runner-up three times in Listed events and also ran well in the Ayr Gold Cup when racing nearest the far rail; handles all ground but the recent rain is an obvious positive.

Form & Verdict
Good strike-rate during his spell with Tony Carroll; faced a stiff stable debut at Glorious Goodwood and then finished third at Doncaster (5f), showing his customary speed before weakening (time good); of definite interest down to a Class 4; 3-10 on AW and has form here.
