Dual 2m5f novice winner for Milton Harris here last summer; absent since two lesser efforts in September/October but probably on a workable mark for stable debut and may still have potential.

Form & Verdict
Yet to add to his win on British debut in autumn 2022, but ran well from the front when third at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in March and did not enjoy a favourable tactical scenario when ridden very patiently at Fontwell last month; can go well if first-time cheekpieces have positive effect.

Won twice on good to firm in 2023; fourth and a respectable ninth in last two editions of the 2m2f Cesarewitch at Newmarket (soft) in October; while he's not done much over hurdles for a long while now and has been absent since November, those Newmarket runs mean he's not totally dismissed.
