By Perfect Power out of Scots Fern, whose four previous foals to race have produced one winner, he finished second of 10 at Ayr in Sep 2026 when prominent in a Class 3 novice. That effort on good to soft ground came after a debut over 6f to 7f on standard AW at Kempton. He has raced once each at 1m to 1m1f and 6f to 7f.
