Group 3 winner as a 2yo; never himself in 2024; promising over 6f for new yard

5f looked to be his trip when winning at Goodwood recently; still well treated back up 2lb

3-24 on the continent; off since November and plenty to prove off this mark for new yard
NR (10)	King's Lynn Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	125	p	3-0268	87	109	99	52d	—	—	—	11.4	—	—
Losing run goes back three years and he's likely to be up against it in this company
