Front-runner who landed a gamble on his handicap debut at Lingfield (6f, AW) last September and made short work of following up at Thirsk one week later; slow start to his 2026 campaign but things clicked back on AW at Kempton three weeks ago, gamely repelling the reopposing Moving Force; could progress further after just eight runs.

Down the field in three maiden/novice runs but he proved a different proposition on his handicap debut last September (6f, AW; first run after wind surgery), landing a gamble in emphatic fashion; followed up, again easily, in a selling handicap at Thirsk one week later; came up short off his revised mark at Newcastle five weeks ago (first run for 193 days); better than that but dropping to 5f asks a new question of him.
