Won easily on handicap debut at Bangor (2m3f, soft) in November and has continued in good form, finishing third of 15 at Windsor (3m, soft) latest; he has something to find if his opponents are at their best but that isn't guaranteed, and his current wellbeing and proven stamina are both positives.

Improved in this tongue-tie in the winter, winning two handicaps (2m3f, soft), and he may well have completed a hat-trick but for a final-flight mistake in a novice at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) four weeks ago; this smooth-travelling sort could have more left in the tank; strong claims.

Returns to a novice after running in handicaps, improving for the tongue-tie to win at Hereford (about 2m4f) and Ascot (about 2m3f, also soft); it was easily a career best last time and has since had a wind operation; sets the standard on RPRs; withdrawn from last week's Grade 1 novice at Cheltenham due to the drying ground; yard won this with Dashel Drasher in 2019.
