Won the first of seven Flat races for Richard Hannon, last seen in this sphere when among the backmarkers in the 1m Britannia here (33-1; sole start on good to firm) 12 months ago; very hit and miss in his four hurdle races for the champion jumps trainer, albeit in top races when he failed to fire; connections are enough to earn him respect but Ethical Diamond is presumably their principal hope.

Ultra-consistent and registered a deserved first win in a novice at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) on latest outing; however, having had to settle for a place in his 1m2f handicaps at Ascot (good) and York (good to soft) in May, this field looks more demanding; worth a go at 1m4f but others are preferred for the win.

Finished down the field on stable/seasonal debut at Chester (7.5f) this month but that doesn't tell the full story as he ran well for a long way from his wide draw and was hampered late on; he's dropped to an attractive mark and is just the type his new trainer does very well with.

Two pieces of form at Wolverhampton in 2025 that give him outstanding claims at these weights, namely close thirds in a 7f Listed race and a strong 6f handicap; not so good on his last three starts and alarm bells were ringing when he was dropped into selling company at Chester 11 days ago, a race where he was a disappointing fourth; too much ability to discount but there are risks involved.
