Form & Verdict
Last of four on last month's nursery debut at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) but didn't look happy on the track (hung right throughout); ran well in defeat in two relatively warm sellers (6f/7f, good/good to firm) previously and that form suggests he's on a competitive mark; possible player.

Placed twice since dropped back to 1m last month, more recently when very close third (just behind The Sweet Escape) at Leicester (1m, good to firm) nine days ago; competes off same mark here; big player if new cheekpieces have any positive effect.

Last turf win was here (1m2f, good to soft; from 6lb higher) in June 2024; fair third at Wolverhampton (8.5f; 10-1) on penultimate start but took a backward step at Doncaster (1m2f) subsequently; easing mark isn't enough to tempt.

Form & Verdict
Didn't threaten on first three runs and only seventh of eight at Leicester (6f, good to firm) on recent nursery debut; however, she's with a top northern yard and maybe first-time cheekpieces will unlock some improvement.

Reliable as a 2yo, winning Bath maiden in September and running creditably after three months off when fourth in nursery here on Boxing Day; both those runs were over 5f but he stays 6f well; unlikely to be far away.
