J: Cieren Fallon

Placed in May/June in his first two handicaps (1m/1m1f, good to firm/good) and he's of interest on that form; two lesser runs have followed (1m2f, good to firm/soft) and he has something to prove, but this 3yo remains lightly raced and is in top hands; not written off.

J: Warren Fentiman

T: William Haggas

Has looked a bit quirky but his close second at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in June shows he's capable off this sort of mark; never a threat on quicker ground at the Newmarket July meeting but it was a hot 3yo only handicap; returns from two months off, minus the blinkers he's worn on last two starts and with his yard in excellent form; going softer than good would be an unknown but there's still a feeling he might have a bigger performance in him.

Won on debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) in February and he's gone close in two of his three runs since, including after a slow start on handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m1f, good; blinkers added) last month; up 3lb but that latest form has been boosted by the third since and he should have more to offer.

Signs of ability over 7f on Newcastle Tapeta but failed to stay 1m on handicap debut at Wetherby in April 2025; wasn't seen again until well beaten on Kempton AW (6f) in March for new yard, where he bled from the nose; best watched for now.

Displayed some promise for Jedd O'Keeffe over 7f/1m in the first part of last year, shaping as though he might be suited by sprinting; sold for £12,000 last May and makes stable debut after an absence, but it will be interesting to see how this very lightly raced 5yo goes in the betting.

Some good AW runs, runner-up in three races back-to-back in two handicaps off 73 over 6f/7f and in a 7f maiden; not his best effort in a 6f handicap in March and turf debut over C&D (heavy) later that month wasn't anything to write home about either.

Running well at this level in recent weeks, coming from last to first over 1m here before finishing second at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and Southwell (1m); just as effective at 7f; the blinkers he's worn on his last five starts are now replaced by a first-time visor; should go well again.
