Form & Verdict

Did well in Meydan and returned to Britain for a close fourth in the Lincoln; hasn't kicked on from there, finishing down the field in the Royal Hunt and then midfield at Chelmsford (1m2f); looks vulnerable with his big weight.

Form & Verdict

Launched career with two novice wins last May (good/good to soft); struggled badly in his three subsequent starts, a Group 2 and a pair of handicaps, when trying cheekpieces and blinkers; remains of interest having been gelded during his absence and for the fact that connections are persevering; in the Cambridgeshire; market could be informative.

Won twice in a higher grade (1m4f) during opening half of 2022 and he's back on a good mark; however, asking a lot to win this after such a long period on the sidelines; has been gelded.
