Nicely bred colt whose parents were both successful for this stable; duly showed promise at Kempton (1m, AW; finished second) on sole 2yo start and that form has plenty of substance; likely to stay this longer distance and warrants respect.

Showed some useful Flat form for the Gosden stable in 2024 but last year's stable debut was disappointing and he made a low-key start to his hurdling career when eighth of ten in Musselburgh maiden (2m1f, good to soft; jumping lacked fluency) in March; needs to take a big step forward.

Last seen floundering on heavy going in the November Handicap at Doncaster; the clear highpoint of that campaign was his second at Epsom (1m4f, good; stays 1m6f) in April, which came first time out and points up his chance given that he is now 11lb lower; needs a second look.

2-13 overall and 1-8 in handicaps, the handicap win in a four-runner race (1m2f) last November; probably stays 1m6f but did not show it on latest outing; 5lb lower today than at start of this season but the first-time tongue-tie seemingly needs to make a difference.
