Form & Verdict
Off the mark on his nursery debut at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) in August, narrowly holding off Roysdelight; overdid things early at Bath the following month, after which he was gelded; could help tee this up for a closer now switched to AW.

First past the post four times in succession in the second half of 2025 (demoted to fourth on the third occasion); she has carried on the good work this year, finishing second in three of her four starts; more required to defy this mark and she still has a bit to prove on turf.
