Form & Verdict
140,000gns yearling who's bred for this sort of trip and shaped fairly on his debut in a soft-ground 1m Newmarket novice last autumn (stayed on again having got outpaced); is entitled to improve for a yard also responsible for Wise Counsellor.

1m4f novice winner on the AW; hard to assess right now as he's been highly tried of late but hasn't shown much; others look safer.

Off since early June when tailed off in the Italian Derby; progressive profile prior to that, including a fourth in the Lingfield Derby Trial; these terms aren't favourable but he's a 3yo who could yet have more to offer.

Pretty useful maiden on Flat at his best (1m6f) for Andrew Balding, but lost his form in that sphere and hurdle/yard debut at Kempton (2m, good) in January did not look promising.

Second foal out of a half-sister to Derby winner Adayar; at 5-2, he was weak in the market at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (1m4f) and never really threatened to win that race; cheekpieces are now added.
