Form & Verdict
Comfortable win off this mark on stable/British/handicap debut at Newcastle last March (6f), his sole run on an artificial surface; beat Daring Legend by a neck at Doncaster this June (off 1lb lower; 7f) but didn't see his race out there last time having again taken a keen hold; good chance of bouncing back from rail draw.

A dual 7f scorer for Archie Watson in 2025 and he signed off for the yard with a solid sixth at Kempton (7f) 57 days ago; since changed hands for 20,000gns and he can't be discounted for his new handler.

Won a four-runner Southwell novice in September; apprentice-ridden when pulling her chance away over 1m on her turf return and raced freely on her handicap debut at Kempton (7f, AW) last month, where she left the impression she's capable of better; return to this trip should be fine if she settles.
