Won on Southwell debut (7f) in January; good second over same C&D next time and he took another step forward when runner-up on handicap debut at Newmarket (7f, good) last month; nudged up 2lb but he was clear of the third last time and he's open to more progress at this new trip; respected.

Two wins over shorter as a 3yo; improved when second at Kempton on his seasonal return last month (1m) and when third at Nottingham 17 days ago he found himself poorly positioned; well worth another crack at this trip and he should make a bold bid.

Turf (1m, good) and AW winner (7f) in 2025; ended last season with a placed effort at Lingfield and he reappeared with a good second at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) last month; looks interesting off unchanged mark and he has shaped as though this new trip should be within range.

Improved form upped in trip on handicap debut when finishing well to deny Last Shamardal at Ripon (1m, good) last month; up 5lb but he knuckled down well for that success and could continue on the upgrade in handicaps; shortlisted.

Well held in three qualifying runs since December, with his best effort a 5l third at Kempton (1m) on his second start; still early days but opening mark looks on the high side and he needs improvement on this switch to turf; has been gelded and blinkers are added.
