Smart handicapper who brings excellent stats, being 3-3 at Newmarket (on the other course, admittedly, but it bodes well) and 3-3 (much improved) this term for new yard; prevailed only narrowly in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (good to firm) most recently but seems on his way to becoming a Group performer; adds great interest.

The talking horse in good 6f handicaps this spring and he delivered, coming clear with no fuss under Oisin Murphy at Newmarket (good) on yard debut and not having to work much harder under a penalty there (good to firm) in May for Shane Foley; 10lb higher than last time but could be on his way to better things.

Ended 2025 in fine form, running away with a Group 3 at Chantilly (6f, very soft) before defying a penalty in Listed company at Doncaster (6f, heavy); he hasn't beaten many home in three runs this year though and while his recent York run wasn't as bad as the distance beaten might suggest, it wasn't sufficiently promising to think he could defy top weight on a rare handicap run; cheekpieces, tried once in 2022, unsuccessfully, are back on.
