A dual 1m4f AW winner (also scored over hurdles) in 2025; running with credit without winning this season until only fourth of five at Beverley (1m4f) 13 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back in a change of headgear.

Similar form, in RPR terms, in trio of 1m novice/maiden contests; her breeding strongly suggests middle distances, at least, are within range, the fitting of cheekpieces could give her a lift and this 0-60 handicap looks winnable; key player.
