Last time out
Finished 3 in the Sky Bet Great Voltigeur Stakes (Group 2) at York on 19 August 2026. Went straight to the front - quickly overtaken and settled behind the pacesetter - edged back in front just before 3f out - shaken up as rivals came at - lost command inside final 2f then held on for third.
