Usually races prominently; a mostly solid 2025 included 1m2f Listed wins in May and November; 2026 started in downbeat fashion (similar to last year) in Listed race and his top three ratings have been registered on softer than good; this is also a new trip (unraced beyond an extended 1m2f) but he's bred to get it and has a chance on best form; ground the chief worry.

In good form on the AW since returning in February, easily justifying short odds at Chelmsford (1m2f) in March; no problem with the return to turf having won over this trip at Haydock (good) last August; can take a hold, but may settle better in this big field and he remains unexposed; a player.

Solid efforts in defeat in his first three handicaps, before taking his form to another level when winning a six-runner race at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) 16 days ago; he was 1-2 that day, made most and won in good style; 8lb higher and not nearly so well drawn but this could still be a good mark.
