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. |

Best sprint form, including on good to soft, offers hope but he made little impact over 6f here on debut for new yard last week and the new trip raises major questions. |

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.

Useful 6f handicapper who scored four times in 2022; much less productive (0-9) this season, albeit performing respectably on a few occasions, ninth in Ayr Gold Cup latest; not crying out for this return to 7f. |
25/1 |

9th 16 (6) |
23rd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to win in 2023 but he's run some good races, notably a second to Bielsa at York in May and a fair effort on soft at Doncaster last week; 3lb badly in today but the York run was off this mark and any improvement for the addition of a visor would see him go well. |
16/1 |

4th 4 (4) |
15th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |

Yet to win this year but he retains ability and has slipped down the weights; has form on soft ground but seems best on good or faster; others appeal more for win purposes. |

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.

23rd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Fine record on slower than good; ground was good when he finished down the field here 12 months ago but he's long appealed as the type to win a feature sprint when underfoot conditions are in his favour; the Stewards' Cup looked one that might have got away, finishing comfortably on top of the group who raced far side but only fifth overall (cheekpieces first time, retained); chance will be enhanced by any further rain; interesting. |
9/1 |

5th 15 (2) |
5th Aug 2023 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Has long appealed as the type to win a big sprint when getting the slow ground that suits him so well; well backed and won easily at Doncaster on his seasonal return (6f, soft) and hasn't really had his conditions since; last of seven at Pontefract last month but he was apprentice ridden and came very wide in the straight; blinkers worn there (travelled strongly) are now replaced by cheekpieces; a return to soft going can spark something extra. |

Looked progressive when getting off the mark at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) and he went close on his nursery debut at Ripon despite taking a tumble (reared) during the preliminaries; respected off 2lb higher having been gelded since.
