Won Yarmouth maiden (6f, good) in June for Kevin Philippart De Foy but went backwards subsequently; first-time blinkers (retained) when fifth of nine at Southwell (7f, AW) on seasonal/stable debut last month; needs to build on that.

Form & Verdict
No great progress in AW handicaps from last October to January but he found a powerful finish in his first turf run at this level when winning over C&D (good) last week; this could take more winning under a penalty (goes up the same amount in future) but he's open to improvement.

0-7 but he's shown enough at 1m on the AW to think there's a race in him and perhaps the first-time hood (now discarded) allied to good to soft ground combined against him back on turf at Ripon in April; sold for 8,000gns since; worth a look on debut for new yard.

Rarely seen on turf and below best since a close call on AW before Christmas but he had swamped his rivals at Redcar (1m, good) last September and was seriously hampered on the Rowley course after; weighted to go well and respected; usual aids missing but two wins minus headgear in 2025.
