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.

A string of minor honours but no win from his eight races; disappointing on good to firm at Ascot in May, in between showing his best form at Kempton (1m3f, AW) and Sandown (1m2f, good); blinkers were fitted for that latest start, when he came from the back for fifth of 12 despite carrying his head high, and this race is markedly less competitive.

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.
