Both runs (2m/2m4f) on good to soft and weak in the betting; beaten about 20l at Newbury and then pulled up at Uttoxeter; plenty to prove now. |

2nd 4 |
16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Has every chance on the strength of his neck second at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) but he never looked convincing when turned over at odds of 1-5 in a three-runner maiden at Exeter (2m, good); difficult to know how he'll perform here but couldn't rule out. |

Runner-up over 2m3f at Hereford and appeared to find 2m on the sharp side when third at Huntingdon (good to soft); open to further improvement. |

Ran in one bumper; 7-2, improved when second of ten in novice hurdle at Hereford (2m4f, good to soft) in December; firmly in each-way calculations. |

Represents top connections but beaten 29l (2m3f) and 21l (2m, good) in two runs over hurdles and needs to find something from somewhere. |

28th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Unable to threaten on either start when fifth in a bumper at Wincanton (1m7f, good) then 29l sixth over hurdles at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft); however, he's with a leading trainer (one of two for the yard) and could take a sizeable step forward at some stage. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Comfortably held in three bumpers and again on his hurdling introduction at Exeter (2m, good); should be seen to better effect over this far but perhaps one for handicaps. |

Hooded for both his hurdle races at about 2m; his Wincanton third was fairly remote and then finished just behind Mask Of Zorro at Exeter; wouldn't be the obvious answer to this on what he's shown so far. |
