In good form over 1m last month, winning here (soft) before solid placed efforts both here and at Ffos Las; drops back to 7f and probably needs to improve for it.

Form & Verdict
Sole success came in August 2024 when trained in Ireland; has tumbled down the weights since his British debut in December; is a hostage to fortune as he tends to be held up and requires a fast pace to be seen to best effect.

Went back-to-back in good-ground handicaps (7f/1m, including here) in September 2024 but no wins since and two runs last month (led before weakening) don't suggest another crack at this trip will turn the ship around.
