A dual 7f/1m winner in 2024; lightly raced this term and got back on track when fifth of 11 in 7f Haydock handicap 12 days ago; one to consider off an easing mark with blinkers added.

Held by Kodi Lion on Haydock running but may fare better with that reappearance effort under his belt; however, perhaps ideally needs a drop back in grade, having never won above Class 4.

Form & Verdict
Green on his only start for Andrew Balding in June; picked up for 26,000gns in July and made a promising start for new connections when third of 12 at Kempton (1m, AW; 16-1) three weeks ago, dropped out from wide draw and doing his best work late on; not sure to be suited by this drop in trip but he still looks the one to beat.

Won a Wolverhampton novice in December; runner-up over 1m4f in four of his five handicaps since and he looked a hard ride once hitting the front under James Doyle at Salisbury (good to soft) 13 days ago, hanging badly right then left and headed on the line; wore cheekpieces last two starts; capable of better but perhaps hard to trust.
