Career win number three when a neck winner at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) and he then bumped into a well-handicapped one at Kempton (2m5f, good); on a good mark with Callum Pritchard taking off 5lb but his improvement has come on drier ground. |

Has been resurgent after wind surgery and he's won at Catterick (2m3f, soft/good to soft) in the last two of his three runs for current yard; up another 5lb but he scored with some authority last time and remains well treated on old form; key player. |

Maiden winner in Ireland but Flat career petered out and he seems to have gone off the idea over hurdles after a successful handicap debut for this yard in March 2024 (first-time cheekpieces latest, now blinkers); unlikely he's worth his current mark back on Flat; limited appeal. |

Unraced beyond 2m6f but after winning over 2m4f at Warwick in September she didn't look short of stamina when upped to 2m6f at Stratford (good to soft) in October, finishing third to one who was retaining an unbeaten record; back up 1lb; solid form and can be closely involved. |
