Form & Verdict
125,000gns yearling; well backed into 7-1 at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) on debut in August 2020 and he travelled smoothly into contention before forging clear in the closing stages; gelded during a long spell on the sidelines since but he sets a clear standard on that initial form and his useful dam was a dual winner at this track; should be hard to beat on his comeback.

Third in this last year and improved form later in the season, finishing his campaign in fine form (on various ground); down the field at Ascot on recent return but he was hampered and may have needed the run; not discounted.

Ended last season with a win and second-place finish, enhancing his good record at Ascot; two attempts at this race comprise a creditable fourth in 2024 and narrow success last year; impossible to dismiss, despite being an 8yo who is on another new career-high mark.
