Unbeaten in six since February 2025, encompassing 2m4f-3m contests around various track and going types; effortless transition to hunter chases at Ludlow latest (2m4f, good), and although patiently ridden there his proven ability at making all might yet come in handy down in trip.
First wins for three years when striking last month in a Paxford restricted (2m4f) and Fakenham maiden hunter chase (3m, led last stride), both on good; prospects would improve if curbing the habit of jumping right evident on both of those occasions.
33-1 into 18-1, flattered slightly by near-1l margin behind an idling Barton Snow in this race last year (good), but that was still a mighty run after 418 days out; absent again since, but his comparatively moderate RPRs around sharpish tracks probably concerns more.
Slims Pickins is most useful when you can move from this single-race view back to the wider board, compare races quickly, and decide where the edge is strongest.
