Fourth of ten in maiden at Newbury (1m, soft) in April looked promising considering how badly he swerved to his left leaving the stalls; although not so marked, that behaviour at the start has been repeated on both outings since and he's made backward steps, the latest in a 6f handicap debut; gelded since; bit too early to forget that Newbury promise.

Back-to-back AW wins at the end of 2023; tongue tied, respectable third in 1m2f handicaps at Redcar (soft; Zetland Gold Cup) and Haydock (good to firm; six ran) on last two starts and had similar form three starts back on his second crack at about 1m4f, but he needs a bit extra.

Hasn't progressed in quite the manner that looked likely after back-to-back AW wins at the end of 2023 but his latest third of ten in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar (1m2f, soft) was a creditable effort; likely to be competitive if in similar form.
