Fourth at Newmarket (1m4f, good) on seasonal/stable debut gave encouragement again, followed by a decisive win at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in May; 14-1 but it looked as if 1m6f stretched him when seventh of 16 at Royal Ascot (good to firm; every chance 2f out) and he probably remained in form; needs a close look back at 1m4f.

His form eventually ran cold for the Gosdens last season but he's back on the up for his new yard, following his pleasing comeback at Newmarket with a decisive win at Kempton where he swept by late on (1m4f, AW); has low enough mileage to believe he'll cope fine with a 7lb rise and, despite not being Wathnan's first string on jockey arrangements, he's one to consider.

Well treated judged on peak form (AW in spring 2025) but it's a serious concern that his latest start (five weeks ago; made most) so seriously damaged his record of going well when back from a break; that was the first time he's been tongue tied (as he is today) and also his first race at Kempton.
