Last time out
Finished 1 in the Racehorse Ownership From 25 At racingclub.com Apprentice Handicap at Newbury on 24 June 2025. Set off in front and travelled eagerly early on - asked for effort and put under pressure 2f out - opened a length advantage in the final furlong - kept finding more - come under pressure again near the line - hung on by the smallest of margins.
