16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Front-runner who made an encouraging reappearance at Thirsk in April; hasn't built on it, but this drop to 5f (for just the third time in a long career) is an interesting move and the fitting of a tongue-strap might help too; well drawn on the rail. |

Latest three wins at 6f/7f in early 2023 but he confirmed he's perfectly effective over C&D when running well against a next-time winner in January (first-time visor); another sound effort back over 7f since; solid claims for in-form yard. |
