Form & Verdict
He wasn't at his best in Ireland in 2024 but he has dropped 12lb as a consequence and he needs a close market check on his first run for Ed Bethell (sold 12,000euros in November).

Can miss the break but he's on a dangerous mark and was runner-up here (7f, good) in May before a respectable fourth at Chepstow last month; this return to AW is no problem and he has each-way claims.

Runner-up here (7f, good to firm) in May then went very close at Redcar (1m, good); couldn't get into it after a slow start at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last time but still ran pretty well and he might not be far away.

Encouraging stable debut when second of 12 at Lingfield (1m, AW) hasn't been built on, although latest 8l defeat when fourth of 14 at Redcar (7f) came when the first two home raced alone; from the family of an Oaks winner so there's hope on pedigree that this new trip might help.
