Took advantage of a plummeting mark to land his first success on turf over C&D (good) eight days ago; won with a bit in hand and may well defy 5lb penalty before being reassessed.

Form & Verdict
Got off the mark at Catterick (6f, good) in April and has held his form since but is still 6lb higher for that sole success; a first-time tongue-tie is now applied to go alongside previously-worn cheekpieces and the feeling is that there may be more left in the locker; place claims.

Began 2025 in good form, winning a handicap at Catterick and then finishing a good second at Ripon (both 6f, good); modest form in two runs back with Seb Spencer but his return to action at Doncaster three weeks ago certainly didn't get to the bottom of him, travelling well under restraint and then meeting some trouble as the race was unfolding; capable of better, perhaps markedly so, and the betting should be revealing.
