Prominent racer; three heavy defeats from four runs for his new stable in 2025 but the other run saw him spring a 40-1 surprise at Doncaster; blinkers join the eyeshields today but he drops to 6f for the first time on his 39th start.

Generally reliable 4yo who usually comes from off the pace; added to his two AW wins when beating Riot over C&D (good) last month and he had some traffic issues when in midfield in a 20-runner handicap at York (Class 4) last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's respected back in calmer waters.
