Gambled on and showed improved form when getting off the mark in a novice event at Newcastle (2m1f, heavy) last March on handicap debut; races freely and was always prominent for that win, which came easily by 10l; 11lb higher today but this lightly raced 9yo could have more to offer.

Form & Verdict
First win (21 races) was gained in France in May 2020; the second came in eight-runner handicap at Newcastle (2m1f, good; acts on soft) last May, delivered in smooth fashion after wind surgery; absent since and back up 6lb but may have turned a corner and plenty of stablemates have been running well.
