Resurgent 4yo who has form figures of 23221 since April and beat a clear second when scoring at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last month on his second run for James Owen; a 4lb rise for that success looks fair and he's a big player back on AW.

Without a win since his debut in 2024 (posted an RPR of 89) but he was placed in each of his three starts for Jack Jones, and went close over C&D on his stable debut four weeks ago; he's on a handy mark and has to be respected.

Sole win was on his debut in December 2024 but he's been knocking on door for Jack Jones this spring including when runner-up over C&D (good) last month; remains well treated on best form and he's a big player on this first run for James Owen; hood removed.

Unexposed after just four runs; looked green as a 2yo and appeared a much improved model when third of eight over C&D (good ground) 18 days ago, fading after eight months off; the hood (omitted on return) goes back on today; in good hands and has far more potential than most of today's rivals.
