Completed 6f hat-trick for William Haggas in spring 2025; midfield on both starts for new stable this summer but looked unlucky not to finish close to the target here (6f, good to firm; denied clear run) a week ago and has possibilities if suited by this drop in trip.

Completed a 6f hat-trick last spring but signed off for William Haggas with last of 13 at Newcastle in November; had been gelded before racing too freely on his stable debut/reappearance 19 days ago; that should have knocked some freshness out of him and he's back on his last winning mark.
