Ended a long losing run when landing the Old Roan at Aintree (2½m, good) under Freddie Gingell in October, finding more for pressure than is sometimes the case. Ground was slower than ideal in Peterb…

Hit-and-miss last term and failed to build good reappearance effort when well held at Newbury in November. Combination of first-time cheekpieces and a more aggressive ride sparked a return to form wh…

Very capable on his day, most notably emerging on top in a major Cheltenham handicap in December 2023, a course where he has also posted a number of fine efforts in defeat. However, he's now at the v…

Ended last term with a win at Newton Abbot in April and has found just one too good on 2 of his 3 starts this season, including when chasing Etalon home here last month. 4 lb better off with that riv…
