Early-season 5f win as a 2yo when trained by David Evans; unplaced in two handicap runs last summer; still has low mileage and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market prior to this stable debut (same owners).

Said to have hung left round Kempton on his return from a year off in the spring and, while last of six, offered more latest without seeing out a stiff 7f; lightly raced and no surprise to see him take another step forward.

Spectacular late run to land valuable auction race (6f, good to soft) in October 2024 is starting to fade from the memory but he won his first race since when taking a Wolverhampton handicap in November; narrow defeat at Newcastle (also 7f, AW) in February was up with his best form and respectable efforts on last two starts; not dismissed back on turf.

Three turf wins and one on Tapeta (unraced here); posted career-best RPR when going down narrowly on Newcastle reappearance and got little luck in running when under 3l away at Wolverhampton; unraced beyond 7f but he gives the impression that this far could suit.
