Dropped right away at Leicester on debut (6f, good to soft) but 5f on fast ground looked much more to his liking when seeing off eight rivals at Redcar two weeks ago, keeping on strongly; penalty to overcome but he looks quite promising.

Can lead; smart 2yo who began 3yo season on a mark of 102; has shown just humdrum form in three turf handicaps, despite a sliding mark, and was way back behind Justcallmepete at Bath last week; has it to prove now.

Both wins were on turf in 2024 but he's well treated on old form and has run respectably on Tapeta (5f/6f) in last two starts; can make the running and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid back in this sphere.

Having tumbled down the weights there were signs of a possible revival when keeping on for third in a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton last week (attracted support); Rossa Ryan retains the ride and today's return to 6f won't be an issue; can't discount.

First handicap win when he scored at Windsor in August and he'd dropped to the same mark when registering another win over that C&D (also good to firm) 25 days ago; 2lb nudge but everything that's come out of that race has run well subsequently, including wins for the runner-up and ninth, and he's firmly considered in his follow-up bid.

Shaped with much more promise than the distance beaten would suggest on his Lingfield debut 16 days ago (6f, good), racing away from the stands' rail and only weakening late on; the bare form leaves him with plenty to find now dropping to 5f but he's one of the more interesting runners.
