J: Cam Hardie

T: Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood

Made a winning debut here (7f) early last year and was a good third at Goodwood (1m, good) in his final run last season; left William Haggas for 16,000gns in October; never dangerous on stable debut at Redcar last week but he didn't get the best of runs and was only beaten around 3l; should be sharper this time and he's in the mix back on AW.

Made a winning debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) early last year and placed over this trip and further in four of his six subsequent starts; has since left William Haggas for 16,000gns and the market should indicate what is expected on stable debut after 250 days off; cheekpieces given a go.

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.

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.
