On the Derby trail after winning AW novice in April and finished third in Blue Riband Trial at Epsom and Lingfield Derby Trial in the spring; like many he was beaten a long way in the big one and his subsequent 14th in the Golden Gates here (1m2f, good to firm) was underwhelming; off since and has been gelded; will need to resume in his spring form to make an impact but a handicapping case can be made.

In the veteran stage now but his two runs at York this term prove he still retains ability, latterly when sticking on into midfield in valuable 10.5f event a fortnight ago; his sole start at 1m4f (in December 2024) returned his best RPR and this second attempt is well worth another go.
