11-race maiden who became disappointing on turf for Jim Bolger; picked up for 4,000gns last summer and although out of a half-sister to an AW Listed winner, still has enough to prove upped in trip on stable debut after a year off; market informative. |

9st 8lb |
Three wins this season (1m4f-1m6f); bounced back from poor AW run when close second to Arqoob here (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago and might still have a bigger performance in him over this longer trip; respected. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has done well over 1m4f-1m6f on turf this term, winning three times from six starts; latest win came easily at this track (1m6f, good to firm) in June and he's 7lb higher today; tailing off so badly at Southwell four weeks ago may be offputting but he came last in 2025 in his only other AW race, so perhaps can spring back to life with today's return to turf. |
