Finally off the mark in Britain in May 2024 and runner-up on next four starts, including when coming from well back over 2m4f at Glorious Goodwood; however, he flopped when just 9-1 for the Cesarewitch (soft) that October and not seen since; that was his only run in Britain on softer than good; well handicapped were he to return at his best on this AW debut after 588 days off; market may guide.

Won his first five handicaps (including on Tapeta, unproven on Polytrack) but the last of those was in July 2024; generally disappointing since and, after 307 days off, this is a new trip on first run since changing hands and leaving Harry Charlton.

Often makes the running but came from towards rear under Harry Vigors to win a six-runner race at Wolverhampton (1m6f) on latest outing; that broke a long losing run but he's usually competitive and has won over C&D; player.

Achieved little twice over hurdles before his third of five from the front over C&D two months ago when last seen; that was comfortably his best show on AW but he needs to find extra.

Two wins from five starts since joining Hayley Burton, with both the wins over 1m4f on Lingfield Polytrack (dictated the pace on penultimate start); back to turf for a lesser show on Saturday; while not dismissed due to this new trip, it is a sizeable step in the dark.
