Three 7f wins in 2025; impressive dropped to 6f at Newcastle in March but two runs since have been bitterly disappointing; that March performance hasn't been wiped from the memory and a revival wouldn't be a major shock.

Progressive at 7f in 2025 and he returned from ten months off to run out an easy winner of a Class 3 handicap over C&D (2-2 at Newcastle) in March; up 7lb but foolish to think he's not up to the task; stable won this in 2024.

Keeps getting better and arrives on a hat-trick after wins at Yarmouth (final start for James Ferguson) and over C&D; heavily backed and quickened smartly to come from the rear and beat seven rivals last time; does not look overburdened by a 5lb rise, and although this is stronger he looks sure to go well again.
