Gelded and tongue tied when justifying favouritism in five-runner handicaps over 1m3f on Kempton AW this February and April; raced a bit freely and never got into it when back to turf at Chester (1m4f, good; second favourite) 16 days ago but not at all discredited and it's possible he may resume his progress; cheekpieces go on.

Promise on turf (good to firm/good) as 2yo; gelded and tongue tied when justifying favouritism in five-runner handicaps over 1m3f on Kempton AW this February (fairly smoothly) and April (much harder work, by short head); up another 4lb and back to turf but 1m4f+ will help his hat-trick bid.

Carries head high; no win from his four starts (hooded last three) but persistently short of room when beaten a head on second occasion (1m); failed to fire on AW next time but better when a closing, close third in Yarmouth novice (7f) latest; likely to stay but improvement is needed.

Ended 2025 on the up with 1m Newcastle victory, and resumed after four months off (gelded) with an excellent second of five to Moment Of Light over C&D 35 days ago; enjoys a 6lb pull in the weights here so not taken lightly.

Often front-runner; 3-4 in handicaps last term; back with two creditable supporting roles in five-runner handicaps at Kempton (1m3f, AW) when it looked like he would be suited by 1m4f+, but he failed to prove that when never dangerous and well beaten at Chester (good) last week with cheekpieces first enlisted; others are preferred.
