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.

Prominent racer; the winner of three of his nine runs for Archie Watson, including two wins and a second from three AW starts; bumped into a promising filly at Kempton six weeks ago but his subsequent 3lb rise won't help matters.

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.

Yet to score this term but his sixth of 21 at the Ebor festival (6f, good to firm) indicated he might be rediscovering his level; that didn't prove the case at Windsor last time but he's too well handicapped to ignore and rain would certainly not hinder him.

Saw out 2025 with three AW wins from his final four starts but he's played only minor roles in turf handicaps this year, including when beaten nearly 5l behind King Of Light over C&D in May; could do with some rain or, failing that, a return to the AW as he's well treated now.

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.
