Very promising fourth of 15 from off the pace on debut at Newmarket (6f, good) last month and put in good front-running shift before fading into fifth in what looked a useful Sandown maiden (7f, good) a fortnight ago; major player in this easier race.

In a good vein of form, winning twice on Lingfield's AW during the summer and second to Tex in amateurs' race over 1m here (also placed twice over C&D) last time, collared late having briefly gone clear; the fact there was a long way back to the third has resulted in him being raised to a clear career-high mark but still merits respect in his current mood.

Sole win (23 races) was an AW maiden in November 2024; way down the weights these days and although he was runner-up twice on AW (7f) in March and showed something here (5f) on penultimate start, others have to be higher up the list.
