£2,000 3yo; second foal; dam twice-raced half-sister to bumper and 2m5f hurdle winner La Perrotine (dam of Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Sizing John); won well in an Irish maiden point (yielding to soft) on debut in May 2023 against some notable rivals and fetched £75,000 soon afterwards; off since but needs a close look.

Won a Ludlow bumper; 0-3 over hurdles but ran better with a tongue-tie added when a 15l third at Bangor (2m3f, good); probably needs to step up again and by some way to beat the best of these.

Inconclusive hurdles debut latest having refused to settle, but he'd showed a determined attitude in his Ludlow bumper win and the form of his earlier Irish point success has substance; may yet do better.

Form & Verdict
Ridden both starts by Jamie Neild; down the field at Hereford in December, detached and off the bridle before halfway; 50-1 at Kempton (good) last month but went in contrasting fashion, up with the pace throughout and taking a close fourth of 13, which puts him firmly in the picture here.

0-9 but was runner-up on handicap debut at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) last month and he filled the same position behind an odds-on rival in a maiden at Ascot (2m3f, good) last time; needs to find more at this new trip but he still has potential and is a half-brother to a 2m7f chase winner.

Has something to find on all the figures with West Hill Verde but this eight-race maiden probably ran his best race yet in a Haydock handicap (2m3f, good to soft) and the winner is an improver who has followed up; effective on good ground so should give his running.

Went close in his final two bumpers last season but has been set some stiff tasks and looked a work in progress over hurdles; step up in trip should help and a better effort could be in the offing now handicapping.
