Mostly respectable form in 1m handicaps this season and it was a muddling Class 4 over 1m3f in which he couldn't get seriously involved at Kempton 12 days ago; 1m2f might be ideal; respected.

He made a winning handicap debut in June 2024 (7f, good); mixed record since and his Brighton second last September was the only real bright spot in 2025; chance if returning at that level but it is not assured.

Sole win was 15 months ago but that was off 7lb higher and he returned to form with a near-miss over C&D last time; has leading claims if he can back that up but best form has been on good/good to firm and it would be a worry if the ground is testing.

Fine record here, with his four runs yielding two wins and a second for Adam West in 2024; followed that trainer to France last year but he was back to being an Epsom resident when close third on stable debut at Lingfield (AW) in April and secured first win for this yard at Windsor (also 1m2f, good to firm) one month ago; 4lb rise but he's won off higher; player.
