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.

Form & Verdict
Recent turf form features a 5f success and he's perhaps not crying out for this return to 7f; effective on AW in the past but hasn't raced in this sphere since March 2024.

2-4 at Doncaster; ended 2025 in rude health on the AW, winning handicaps at Southwell (6f), Wolverhampton and Lingfield (both 5f); his form has dipped slightly on his last two starts but it's not out of the question that this return to Doncaster will pique his interest.

Soundly beaten in mid-division on last month's stable/seasonal debut in the Spring Mile at Doncaster but that was his first encounter with slow ground and he may have needed the run; won twice over this C&D (good to firm) last spring, including this race, and could play a leading role back here.

Raced on AW, showing improvement in handicaps fitted with a hood, winning over 1m at Kempton and Chelmsford (emphatically) in June; might have found a third run in quick succession a bit too much when only second at 4-11 back at Kempton later that month; freshened up since; 9lb higher now but could resume her progression now tackling turf for the first time.

Well held after a slow start here (1m) 12 days ago but that was after two solid placed efforts at Lingfield (7f/1m); losing run is now up to 15 but he's on a dangerous mark and could get involved if he gets a good pace and some luck; cheekpieces removed.
