Has made up into a smart 6f/7f performer this season, cosily winning Listed race at Newmarket (6f, good) in August and running well when second in C&D Group 3 (good to firm; Division and Jasour behind) last month; reliable type with each-way hopes.

Won C&D handicap in 2025; has some scope at this level, given his good sixth of 11 in Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; slightly hampered when just behind Division); made all in a Listed race over that C&D last time; dangerous with cheekpieces replacing blinkers.

Yet to win this season but took his form to a new level when fitted with blinkers for last two runs, looking unlucky not to finish closer than sixth in C&D Group 1 July Cup before running on well for second in 7f Newbury Group 2 (also good to firm) last Saturday; eased in grade today; the one to beat.

2-11, with the latest of those wins coming over C&D in August off a 2lb lower mark than today; below his best over 7f next time but bounced back with a solid effort at Southwell (6f, AW); contender but his hold-up style means things need to drop right.
