Last time out

Finished 1 in the Zyn Frontrunner EBF Newcomers' "Confined" Maiden Stakes (For Horses Which Have Never Run) (GBB Race) at Newmarket (July) on 7 August 2026. Settled off the pace in the pack - progress made three furlongs out to take command with over two left - drifted left while inexperienced approaching the last furlong - opened up a big advantage inside it - allowed to coast home unchallenged.
