A C&D winner of a 3-y-o handicap on this card 12 months ago. Ran with credit on subsequent outings but shaped as if amiss last 2 starts, though faced stiff task in listed race at Bro Park last September.

Steadily progressive during 2025, finishing out of the places only once. Shaped encouragingly when fourth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 7/1) on reappearance 19 days ago.
