Form & Verdict
Went close on his debut last year and got off the mark at the second attempt when winning at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in March on his first start for 329 days; posted a solid effort at Leicester last month when trying to give weight away to some 3yos and he's open to improvement now handicapping.

Doing well over 7f this term and justified favouritism with 4l success at Yarmouth (soft) on handicap debut most recently, taking overall record to 2-4; went close over 1m on debut (in 2025); progressive gelding who likely hasn't reached his ceiling yet; respected.

Form & Verdict
All three of his wins have been at Kempton (7f/1m) but he was runner-up here over 1m last April (good to firm); has posted two solid efforts on the AW since returning from a break and has place claims back on turf.

Form & Verdict
Dual 7f winner (good to soft/heavy) and he was placed off higher marks than this when trained by Pam Sly last year; below his best in two starts since returning to this yard but he did have excuses at Newmarket 27 days ago having stumbled at the start and sat up with a strong pace; chance now dropped in grade.
