Form & Verdict
Headed to Nottingham last week as a 16-race maiden but had been running well and he stormed home by nearly 10l in a first-time visor (1m2f, good); turned out quickly under a penalty and hard to beat if in the same form.

Has won four of his 17 turf races at up to 1m2f; respectable 2.75l third of 18 at York last time (1m2.5f good); interesting, although pulled hard and didn't seem to get home on only previous try at 1m4f.

Had a productive time of things in 2025 when the visor went on, winning on four occasions, including over this C&D last June; well beaten on the AW at Newcastle in November and he was too free on his comeback run at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; may take a step forward from that but will need to.

One of the favourites when beaten 3l after a slow start at Redcar (1m2f); that made it 0-22 but there's a race in him and he now tries more new headgear.

Series of good runs since fitted with a visor, winning at Ayr in July (1m, good to soft) then finishing third on his next three starts; blinkers were tried here on Tuesday and he ran another good race, albeit no match for the thriving winner; should give another good account.
