Three 7f wins in 2025; impressive dropped to 6f at Newcastle in March but he disappointed as favourite back at Newcastle five weeks ago; the penultimate performance suggests this mark is well within his range, and he could resume his progress back at 7f.

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.

T: William Haggas

Won a 7f course maiden last January and went on to show useful form in turf handicaps over that trip in the spring; not seen for ten months (gelded) but should have more to offer as a lightly raced sort from a top stable; his strong-travelling, front-running style over 7f suggests he should have the speed for 6f (previous attempt came when green on debut); very interesting contender.

His second of 11 over C&D (wore cheekpieces) on reappearance in March was a new high and he bettered that when landing soft-ground Yarmouth handicap (1m) in first-time blinkers in June; off since and no headgear for this stable debut (same owners) but he still commands respect.
