No win since 2023 but he has raced mainly over 5f for new yard and may show the benefit of this return to 6f; attractively treated on plenty of form and can't be dismissed.

He hasn't won since a Listed success at York (6f, soft) in October 2023; in the meantime he has often attracted support, favourite in the 2024 Stewards' Cup and last season's Ayr Gold Cup; two perfectly creditable efforts for Robert Cowell this year and he showed promise in one Tapeta run last spring; not discounted for a trainer who runs four.

Five-race maiden who has inconsistent form; clear best efforts when second at Haydock and eighth in the Super Sprint; chance partly depends on how well he responds to new headgear.

Slowly away, pulled hard and ran green when shaping nicely on his 5f debut in June; well below that level at a short price next time (also 5f; again missed the kick and never looked happy; saddle slipped late) and has since been gelded.
