Form & Verdict
Soft-ground nursery winner in October 2023 and best efforts last year (placed over 1m2f/1m in the autumn) came on soft/heavy; left Ralph Beckett for 105,000gns in October and beaten more than 20l in two races on good to firm in Bahrain this year; well treated if reverting to best 2024 form.

Without a win since October 2023; ran well at Doncaster in August but well beaten in three runs since; visor now joins the tongue-tie.

Heavy defeats in two AW starts, both on this track in 2025; more of the same for much of this year and although there were more hopeful signs in midsummer, he was said to have never travelled when tailed off at Redcar last time.
