Form & Verdict

Unbeaten in point (soft/heavy) and bumper (good/yielding) in 2025, making all and pulling clear final 1f at Down Royal on second occasion; changed hands for £205,000 in between; clearly a promising type and his owner and trainer combined to win this race two years ago.

Form & Verdict

Cosy winner of Irish point and followed that with a most encouraging second to the smart No Drama This End in bumper at Warwick (soft); that was on New Year's Eve 2024, so clearly things have not gone to plan since, but he's in very good hands and retains potential.

Form & Verdict

Both bumper runs have been over C&D; made winning rules debut in November (soft) and bumped into a useful type when second under penalty in January (heavy); should go well again even though rider cannot claim this time.
