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.

Form & Verdict

14,000gns foal; fifth foal; half-brother to fairly useful 1m7f/2m hurdle winner Laganhill; dam bumper winner, half-sister to winners Wishfull Thinking (high-class 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase) and Tara Royal (useful 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase); his top yard has had a fine season in bumpers.

Interesting on pedigree; 8-1, pulled hard and led halfway in bumper at Warwick (2m, good) four weeks ago, before ending up fourth of 11; should improve and a more settled display would help.

Dam bumper and useful 2m4f hurdle/3m1f chase winner; 28-1, never-dangerous sixth of 12 in bumper at Doncaster (good) in early March, which leaves him with major work to do but the market may guide again.
