His win rate sits at around 1 in every 11 races across his whole career, but zoom in on his preferred conditions and a more interesting picture emerges. On normal ground — not too wet, not too dry — he wins roughly 1 in every 6 or 7 races, notching 2 wins from 13 outings. That might sound modest, but for a horse competing at this level, finding conditions that genuinely suit him and sticking to them is half the battle. His trainer Gary Hanmer, based at Tattenhall in Cheshire, clearly knows this. Hanmer is having a productive season — 19 winners already — and he spoke last November about getting a run into the horse after a frustrating wait for the right ground, noting that a slightly shorter trip could be the key to unlocking another win.

The partnership with jockey Harry Skelton is where things get genuinely interesting. Skelton has ridden him in 13 races and won twice — a win rate of roughly 1 in 6, or 15%, which comfortably beats the horse's overall average. That kind of chemistry between horse and jockey is not accidental. It suggests Skelton understands how to get the best from him, and when the two are reunited in the right race, on the right ground, it is worth paying attention.

Class 4 races — a solid mid-tier level — are where he has done his best work, winning 3 of 17 at that grade. His most recent victory came at Worcester in May 2025, and his first career win arrived at Stratford-on-Avon in March 2024, so he has shown he can perform at different tracks. He raced just yesterday and has placed three times in his last six outings, suggesting his form is ticking along nicely even if the wins have dried up over the past 14 months. He is not a horse chasing glory at the top level — but he is competitive, active, and very much in the game.
