Nine wins in his 91-race career and he was beaten by two noses (by Jackie Brown and Symbol Of Hope) over 5.7f at Bath on latest start, flying at the finish having been last of nine inside the final 1f; that classified race puts him back in the picture but Bath is his most usual hunting ground and his only appearance here was in 2023.

Generally struggled for the Cole yard and has regressed for current connections; withdrawn on account of unsuitable firm ground here recently, which wouldn't bode well, and doesn't make much appeal anyway.
