Sole win (16 races) was over C&D in May 2022; seven seconds, including on three of his five starts this term and he was denied by a nose over C&D in the second of those; some traffic problems at Windsor latest; well capable of being on the premises.

He has been a fine servant to connections and added wins eight and nine to his tally in 2025, the latest a 1m handicap at Kempton in November; ran as well as he ever has when second to an upwardly mobile 4yo over C&D five weeks ago but even that effort will need bettering in this field.
