Form & Verdict
Promising fourth in the Convivial Maiden at York (7f, good to firm) on his second start but he's not gone on from that and has been well-held in three middle-distance handicaps; mark is sliding but he needs to find more on this drop back in trip.

1-10 over 2022 and 2023 for Ralph Beckett, with a soft-ground win over 1m2f, but modest over hurdles in 2024; fourth of eight for new yard in a 1m2f handicap last July was a partial revival but that was his only race last year and he needs to build markedly on it; tongue-tie (worn as a hurdler) returns.

Made a successful handicap debut after six months off at Southwell (1m, AW) in April, but probably put up a better effort when fourth of seven at Newmarket (1m, soft) last month; both the dam's side of her pedigree and the way she performed there suggest the extra furlong should suit.
