J: David Probert

T: Ed Dunlop

In fine form at the end of 2024, winning his last five races over 6f, the latest two here; now 23lb higher than the first of them but fair effort off 2lb lower when fourth over 7f at Lingfield ten days ago, not getting the best of runs; well drawn; return to 6f should suit; every chance.

Form & Verdict
Gained his first handicap win when landing a 6f Class 5 at Doncaster in June; unplaced in three runs since and still 2lb higher than for the win; changed hands for 10,000gns in October; drops in class but still looks best watched on stable debut.

Overcame a tardy start to win at Chelmsford in August (6f) but she hasn't got away with it twice since; feasibly weighted but her propensity for missing the break makes her a risky proposition.
