Form & Verdict
Talented 2yo who was placed in Group 2 and 3 races over 5f; just three runs in 2024 but looked to retain plenty of ability in Group 3 at Ascot in May; worrying that he started slowly either side of that, most recently at Lingfield last week, but the return to 6f will suit and he still has potential.

Ended losing run going back to his 2yo days when scoring in a big field over this trip at York in July 2023; didn't repeat the form twice afterwards and now returns from a long break; unplaced both AW outings, but on the plus side his mark has fallen back to his last winning one and he has joined a yard that does well with recruits from other stables.

Expensive to follow for Harry Charlton early in the year but often ran well in good 6f handicaps; pleasing start for new connections when a close fourth at Chelmsford 19 days ago (6f), keeping on steadily; has to prove his stamina for this trip but it looks worth exploring and he's on a dangerous mark; interesting.
