Form & Verdict
First crack at sprinting when winning a Polytrack maiden three months ago (effort well advertised since); stiffer 6f should suit on his return to turf (stays 1m) but it's doubtful he's suddenly improved and he's back to handicap company on a career-high mark.

Promise when winning on his Tapeta debut as a 2yo but struggled badly last year; often been inclined to pull hard and maybe the hood will help, but he ran poorly in it once before; now has first run for Jack Jones (runs in the same colours).

Sole win came on his debut at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December 2024 but he ran well when runner-up at Leicester (6f, good) on his stable debut eight days ago, shaping as if he's worth another go at 7f; contender if backing that effort up.

Two wins during a consistent spell on the AW this year and these undulations shouldn't pose a problem as a previous Chepstow winner; helped set the race up for the closers at Kempton last time and that effort can be upgraded a touch; player.

Wins have come on the AW and he boasts a patchy record on turf (0-6); turned in a couple of fair efforts in defeat, latterly behind Em Four, since finding a Lingfield handicap panning out ideally off 2lb lower in the winter.
