Form & Verdict
Placed in each of his three runs for J-C Rouget in France last year (7f-1m, good, very soft and heavy), showing a tendency to race freely and drift right under pressure; badly squeezed out in the final furlong at Bordeaux in November, after which he was sold for 69,000euros; going right-handed should be beneficial on his stable debut and he's one to take seriously.

Not solid on his overall form since handicapping but ran encouragingly (sixth of 22) in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on reappearance and this is a drop in class; hard to dismiss.

Third foal; closely related to 7f winner Fall Of Rome (RPR 95), half-brother to 2m hurdle winner Hill Spirit; dam 7f and 1m (Listed) 2yo winner (98); appealing pedigree but he has a useful standard to aim at on debut.

Dominated a small field at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) and definitely improved on that form when a battling third behind classy improvers from top yards at Newbury (good); an easy lead looks unlikely here but he's a 4yo on the upgrade.

Six wins last July-October, with the initial success over 1m2f/1m1f followed by four wins at 1m or 7f; good second on 1m1f reappearance this term but a disappointing favourite two weeks later; even if he's back to form, this sort of trip (tried twice before) poses a big question.
