Fast-ground 6f win as a 2yo; last year's two wins came on AW but he was absent through midsummer; returned to 6f and he showed good speed when third of 11 in a useful event at Southwell four weeks ago; in the mix with a repeat.

Hugely progressive since moving into handicaps, winning four times on AW and once on turf (6f, good); easy to back ahead of his recent return to action at Kempton but he travelled well and kept on steadily for third (solid form); more appealing than most with that outing behind him.

Looked an exciting prospect when winning twice in AW novice events at two/three; barely beat a rival in four handicap runs in 2024 but he showed his true colours with an emphatic win at Wolverhampton five weeks ago (6f), tanking through the race and finding plenty when asked for his effort; looked one to keep onside on that occasion but there is still a query about him proving as effective on turf; lenient mark on grass if he does, however.

Won a C&D maiden on his second 2yo run before showing good form in nurseries later that season, notably an impressive success at York's Ebor meeting; struggled in Dubai in early 2024 and returns to action after 399 days on the sidelines; could yet return to his juvenile level and he's worth noting for market confidence.

All four wins at 6f but was a good third over 5f at Ascot last spring and the way he travelled in the lead for a long way in a competitive 6f handicap at Newmarket last weekend suggests he should be fine back at the minimum trip; well drawn to attack against the rail but any easing of the ground may not help his cause (best form on good/good to firm).
