Last time out

Finished 2 in the Simon's 20 Year Heart Transplant Anniversary Maiden Stakes (gbb Race) at Ripon on 18 July 2026. Drifted right at the start - fighting for the bridle early - hit the front - roused and overtaken over 2f out - ran on over 1f out - moved into second in the final furlong but never got competitive with a clear-cut winner.
