Form & Verdict
All six starts on AW; this Irish-trained 4yo won at Wolverhampton (7f) in April and again finished strongly, having been denied a clear run, for third there (7f) three weeks ago; provided he takes to turf he's open to further improvement now back up to 1m.

Running consistently well over 6f/7f on AW this winter and when a close fifth of seven at Lingfield (6f, AW) two months ago it was a tough Class 2; five runs on turf have yielded two wins and this Irish challenger is on the shortlist back down in grade and back on grass.

Five wins, all around a left-hand bend (5f-5.5f), in a productive 2025 campaign; his near miss on 6f Catterick reappearance (good) last Wednesday suggests he's unlikely to be long in opening his account for 2026; same mark today.
