It wasn't the strongest of races in which he finished third at Wolverhampton on debut in September (7f) but it was still an encouraging start to his career and he should be more clued up off the bridle with the run behind him; one to consider.

Won four times last term but he hasn't added to that haul since scoring at Windsor (1m, good to firm) around a year ago; did go close under Laura Pearson at Redcar (6f) off this mark in May, however, and wasn't beaten far when sixth in Newmarket handicap (7f) last time; sole previous attempt in this headgear was inconclusive (didn't stay 1m2f).

Runner-up in a selling handicap at Beverley (1m4f) on penultimate start, and reportedly "failed to stay" when flopping at Doncaster (1m6f) a fortnight ago; yet to win over jumps (0-18) and, while this task isn't impossible, others make more appeal.

Visored first time (occasionally tried other headgear) when a hampered, running-on second of seven under 7lb claimer over 1m4f at Beverley 18 days ago and that was the best Flat result since his win in January 2024; unraced beyond that latest 1m4f on Flat (second over a sharp 2m1f as hurdler); place chance but, with a 1-30 strike-rate, probably not the percentage call.
