Form & Verdict
Hasn't built on fine debut (beaten only by pair of nice types from the yard of Aidan O'Brien) but has run respectably the last twice; new yard could easily eke out more and this nursery looks winnable; moves up a furlong but may want 1m2f before long.

Pulled up (lost action) at Glorious Goodwood; resumed progress when close second over C&D (good) next time and perhaps good to soft ground was not ideal at Newbury on latest; considered.

Form & Verdict
Beaten at 3-1 or shorter all four starts but showed good level of form, and RPRs were heading in the right direction, until squeezed out early and ultimately flopping on soft ground (nursery debut); well worth another chance switched to AW.

J: Oisin Orr

T: Edward Bethell

His best efforts for Godolphin came on AW; no show in two turf runs for Ed Bethell in the autumn but he bounced back to form wih a bang when making all in a 7f handicap at Kempton in November; a 2lb rise is manageable but there are other front-runners on show and he has a 197-day absence to overcome back on turf.

Form & Verdict
First nursery win came over track and trip and was hit with a hefty rise for a Wolverhampton romp nine days later; new mark didn't look beyond him here a fortnight ago and returning to 1m from 7f could help.

Won twice in four days last September (7f and 1m) and he is well handicapped on that form; yet to shine this winter though and may need a drop in class and/or the return of cheekpieces.
