Form & Verdict

Still to add to his two 2yo wins but it's not for a lack of effort this season, regularly running well in defeat (often with an excuse); beaten a nose over C&D last week (5f, soft; visored first time) and due to be 3lb higher in the future; key player.

Form & Verdict

Two wins as 2yo when trained by Martyn Meade; ran well over C&D on second run for this yard but he's been well beaten three times since; new cheekpieces need to turn things around.

8 (3)	24th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 8y Class 5	14:38 Nottingham Object 8st 7lb J: Cam Hardie T: Tim Easterby	5f winner on soft and acts on heavy; eased down when appearing to lose his action at Redcar (5f, soft) last week; if over that, he's on a competitive mark.	20/1
