In good form last May and he's back in top form now, winning at Wetherby and Brighton last month and completing his hat-trick at Ascot last week on his first run for a new yard (now 3-3 in a visor); 4lb rise to defy but hard to discount in current form. |

9st 6lb |
Flourished over 6f on AW for former trainer when blinkers were first fitted, beating Northcliff in cosy fashion at Newcastle in January; not so effective over 5f at Newmarket on yard debut in April and although the return to 6f will suit he looks on a highish mark now. |

Won over 6f and 7f in Ireland as a 2yo; a lost soul for much of the time since but he had dropped a long way in the weights when running his best race for this yard when second of ten at Wolverhampton (7f) in January; worth a look for trainer who's won two of the last nine runnings. |

Just one win on turf but he's had few chances over 6f on good or quicker ground and excelled himself when beating a big field at York (good to firm) last July, the only time Hollie Doyle has ridden him; in the melting pot back on turf. |

All three wins over 7f and 1m but he showed no lack of early speed in his first 6f handicap, on Kempton AW 19 days ago, when he didn't give an inch in a tight finish; looks worth persevering with at this trip and has a good run in him. |

Mostly leads; has done his winning over 7f on AW and turf (good to firm and good) but little in it as to whether he's better at that trip or 6f; drops in grade but this could be another step too far off current mark. |

26th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |

Front-runner who scored three times in 2024; all those wins came over 7f but he seems just as effective at 6f and he has a good record here; shaped well over an inadequate 5f at Beverley on reappearance and that run should have blown away the cobwebs; not fully exposed and should go well. |

He's had more success away from turf but has now won on the last two occasions he's encountered it, which was over 5f (soft) in the autumn and 7f at Brighton (good to firm) yesterday; both were under Jack Doughty and the latter was in an apprentice event, so he does not have to carry a penalty and must enter serious calculations. |

Useful over 6f and 7f in 2022 and 2023 but he had a hard time of it last year despite taking a brisk drop in the weights; encouraging yard debut on Southwell AW in February on penultimate start and, although he never threatened at Newcastle in March, he isn't ruled out back on turf. |

Tumbled down the weights for Stuart Williams before being picked up for 7,000gns a month ago; a solid Southwell effort ten days ago suggests the change of scenery has helped and he's well handicapped if backing that up. |
