350,000euros yearling; it was a good novice in which he finished third at Newmarket (6f; winner now has Group 2 honours) and he again ran well despite defeat at odds-on at Windsor (again good to firm); sets the standard and 7f should suit.

First-time blinkers when making all for easy win in Epsom novice (7f, soft) in September 2024; encouraging return from a year's absence the following October but he left Ralph Beckett after a moderate effort next time; weak in the market for his stable debut when it all went wrong at the start 19 days ago.
