Form & Verdict
Quite speedily bred but he finished well over the 1m3f at Kempton to be hot on the heels of some well-bred rivals from top yards (despite going off at 100-1); good looker with more to offer.

5-14 on AW; stopped quickly in last year's Northumberland Plate and it was a similar story in added cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (1m6f) the following month; afforded time off thereafter, returning with a sound effort at Southwell (2m; beaten a neck) in December; key player from a 1lb higher mark.

Completed an AW hat-trick at around 2m during the winter, but has disappointed in his last three starts including when beaten miles in the Northumberland Plate (2m, Tapeta); will need the first-time cheekpieces to make a big difference.

Disappointing on last two outings, denting his good records both on AW surfaces and at 2m; having been dropped just 1lb, he needs to return from three months off with a career best; good 5lb claimer is enlisted.

Form & Verdict
With a 150-1 chance finishing second, it was a weak race in which he came from off the pace to score decisively over 1m2f at Chelmsford; however, it was clearcut in the end and must every chance despite the penalty.

The winner of eight of his 22 starts, the latest success coming at Kempton (1m4f) off a 2lb lower mark; ended 2025 with a couple of lesser runs and might be best watched on return.

Overall record is 7-18; took well to first-time cheekpieces at Windsor (11.5f) most recently and may have more to offer in the retained headgear; effective on AW.

Handicap debutant who isn't particularly solid on maiden/novice form, most recently fourth of five at Southwell (1m3f) where he faded after dictating the pace; others have stronger claims at the weights.
