Won four times on AW in the first three months of last year for Gay Kelleway but left that yard under a cloud and hasn't built on encouraging first go for this stable in March; work to do on his return to turf.

Showed signs of a revival back from a break when fifth on stable debut at Kempton (1m) three weeks ago; was beaten less than 3l in that race and he's now 8lb lower than for his win at Newcastle (7f) last spring; one to keep an eye on.

Form & Verdict
Beaten in the region of 2l in 7f/9.4f handicaps before a lesser show at Southwell (1m); has a race in him, perhaps 7f is his trip and a visor replaces cheekpieces; not ruled out.

Two AW wins in early 2025, over 7f at Chelmsford and 6f at Wolverhampton, both under Rossa Ryan; her form took a turn for the worse, including for him, in the second half of the year but she didn't do badly in a slowly run C&D race won by Ashford Hill last time and Ryan returns to the saddle.
