Seems to be learning on the job and ran out quite a convincing winner in the end at Carlisle (6f, good to firm), for which he is penalised; up 1lb in future; thereabouts.

Had no realistic chance in a valuable sales race at the Ebor meeting (125-1) but his previous second in a maiden here (Straits Of Moyle third) suggests he might be on a competitive mark.

Went very close in a 6f Ayr maiden (good) in his final run for Phillip Makin in August but he's been well held in a handicap (6f) and seller (1m) at Redcar in both runs for current yard; record now stands at 0-17 and has something to prove from wide draw back on AW. |

Made the most of a straightforward opening at Redcar (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago after very nearly winning a nursery at Thirsk, where only narrowly denied by one who followed up at York's Ebor fixture; looks better handicapped than a lot of these.

3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Had a productive campaign in 2022, although he had an off day at this meeting when odds-on for the consolation race (blew the start); the handicapper won the battle in 2023 but he has turned things around this summer, making all to beat Rumstar at Newbury in May and in the frame in the Wokingham and Bunbury Cup since; 1lb higher this time but should make another good fist of it. |

Suited by this track but is best known as a 6f handicapper (0-4 over 7f); creditable fourth in the Wokingham most recently; back up in distance, he's not the percentage call. |

Limitations exposed in decent company after winning two novices during May and he didn't look well handicapped when down the field on his nursery debut at York; Oisin McSweeney's claim will at least help in that respect but best to turn elsewhere.

Appears unsuited by Newmarket and bounced back from a flop there to win in good style in reapplied blinkers in big field at York (6f, good) 17 days ago; his other wins have come on soft/good to soft; he could have more to offer in the headgear and a 6lb rise may not stop him. |

After showing improved form in a Beverley maiden (5f) he looked thrown in for a Kempton nursery (6f) and duly delivered with a bit up his sleeve; again ran well back at Beverley 19 days ago but the 13lb higher mark just found him out; similar scenario likely here.
