Form & Verdict
Came good with a win at Kempton in November and he followed up over C&D 12 days later; didn't shine in his hat-trick bid here last month but he took a strong hold in that race and still looks on a workable mark; dangerous if he can rediscover his A game.

A dual 5f/6f winner in this grade in 2025 but he has twice failed to build on a solid C&D sixth in early January, just eighth of 11 in 7f Lingfield classified event two weeks ago; he needs to take a big step forward.
