Struggled in three runs (7f-1m) for Michael Attwater, and has since changed hands for 1,200gns; cheekpieces seemingly the only reason to hope for better on handicap/stable debut.

Off the mark with a last-gasp success in a 0-60 at Lingfield in December (7f); two lesser efforts have followed, including C&D, and he looks up against it once more.

Form & Verdict
Tenth foal; half-brother to seven winners, notably Juliet Foxtrot (7f-10.5f 2yo/US 8.5f Grade 1; RPR 109), Tsar (1m including AW; 107), Cartago (1m 2yo; 99) and Juliet Sierra (6f 2yo including Group 3; 98); dam 7.5f-1m winner (including Listed; 106); gelded prior to his debut and wears a hood; lots to like on pedigree and the betting should prove a good barometer.

Similar form when third in three maiden/novice events (7f) on AW this year; needs to find more to defy this opening mark, but she's a half-sister to some useful winners and has shaped as though this step up in trip should suit; needs a close look.
