Last time out

Finished 1 in the Chapman Milestones Celebration, Thank You NHS Handicap Stakes at Catterick on 17 August 2026. Involved in the pace argument early - hit the front approaching the final 3f - pressed for effort over 2f out and opened a two-length gap with a furlong left - margin narrowed close home - had to dig deep and edged home.
