Unraced at Group level but looks highly progressive after finishing well on top in a valuable conditions race over Deauville's extended 6f (soft) a month ago (the second has since won a handicap); quotes would suggest he's held in high regard by powerful connections and dangerous to pass over here, especially should it get wet.

Five runs as a 2yo; made debut over 6f but campaigned at 7f afterwards, running away with a maiden at Chester (good to soft) before a good second in a York sales race last October; absent for five months prior to a facile success in a 6f handicap at Southwell in March, racing freely and hanging left in the straight but in a different class to some fair handicappers; in much deeper today and looks to face a stiff task at the weights but the Southwell performance smacked of a hugely talented, if slightly wayward, colt and this stiff 6f should suit; unraced on faster than good.
