Progressing well for Charlie Fellowes this year, winning 7f handicaps at Doncaster (soft ground, easily) and Haydock (good to firm) in the spring; excelled himself in a Haydock Group 3 in June but it resulted in a huge hike up the weights; ran well at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) when doing best of the stands' side group; creditable run in the Bunbury Cup and should be quick enough to cope with the drop to 6f; others are more favourably handicapped though.

Following a long absence he was well beaten on two hurdle starts this January; however, he didn't run badly when midfield back on the Flat at Pontefract (1m, soft) a fortnight ago and could build on that now up in trip and back on better ground, having shown promise when staying on nicely over 7f/1m on good/good to firm in 2021; interesting for last year's winning yard.
