Last time out

Finished 2 in the Newts Rocket To The Top Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle Race at Sedgefield on 28 August 2026. Set the pace - travelling strongly turning into the straight two out - asked for effort after that - challenged nearing the last - overtaken in the closing stages but battled on to the line.
