Last time out
Finished 2 in the #Matchbooklovesracing "confined" Handicap Stakes (For Horses Who Have Not Won A Race In 2026) at Brighton on 1 September 2026. Settled in the pack early - urged forward 3f out - checked in stride over 2f out - drifted left approaching the final furlong - baulked once more close home - stayed on nicely to the line but not quite good enough.
