V3 UK- Principal Contractor Handicap (Chepstow Mile Series Qualifier) (Div II)

Scored for Michael Dods at Ripon (1m2f, good) last July off 5lb higher; sold to join current yard for 4,000gns in October; fifth of 12 on stable debut at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) in December; unraced since but on a decent mark.

His losing run goes back to July 2024 and his mark has plummeted since but he could build on April's fifth at Nottingham; not discounted.

Last of two wins came in September 2022; seemed to find his level again last year when making the frame four times; has been absent since last August though and needs to hit the ground running.

Eight-race maiden but has shown he can find a race; best effort was when beaten a nose at Kempton (1m, AW) in January and if can replicate that form on turf then he comes into the equation; has left Pat Phelan since his last run in March; sports a first-time tongue-tie and has to be of interest for new yard.

Generally consistent but doesn't win too often; hasn't been far away of late and regularly makes the frame; has place claims.
