Form & Verdict
Made all to score on debut at Chelmsford (7f) in September and presumably found the run coming too soon when weakening quickly in a valuable sales race on soft ground in Ireland only nine days later; the Chelmsford form isn't anything special but he's very much unexposed.

4-4 on AW when trained by Archie Watson, including a 7f handicap win at Chelmsford off a 3lb higher mark; 2024 was disappointing and he was also well held on his reappearance in Qatar in January; should be of more interest back on AW starting out for a new stable.

Form & Verdict
First start at 7f when winning a valuable fillies' nursery at Newmarket on her final 2yo start; the handicapper hasn't missed her with a 5lb rise for a half-length success but she did impress with the way she travelled through that contest; first start for 168 days.

Two promising runs and two disappointing ones in four outings as a juvenile, although heavy ground provides a possible excuse on final start; not obviously well treated for this handicap debut after four months off.

Form & Verdict
Didn't need to match his 2yo turf form when justifying short-priced favouritism in 7f Southwell maiden on his reappearance in January, but he definitely did improve when following up on C&D handicap debut just over a month later; this looks a better race but further progress can't be discounted.

Form & Verdict
Came good at the third time of asking at Kempton (7f) in November; possible excuses when beaten at short odds on 1m Kempton handicap debut in January but subsequent Southwell defeat (1m again) is harder to forgive, carrying his head awkwardly as he weakened; back at 7f now.
