75,000euros yearling; St Mark's Basilica half-brother to six winners, notably Unicorn Lion (Japanese 1m1f/1m2f including Grade 3; RPR 122) and The Wow Signal (6f 2yo including Group 1; 116); interesting newcomer.

Made a winning seasonal/handicap debut at Pontefract (6f, good) in April; flopped behind Thunder Call at York eight weeks ago; that run casts a shadow but he still has low mileage and could well rebound.

Won at Ayr (6f, good to soft) on the first of his three 2yo starts and back on the scoresheet on his handicap/seasonal debut at Pontefract (6f, good) in April; 4lb higher in a deeper race today but he's unexposed and his illustrious pedigree hints that he could still have more to offer.

Won on debut at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last July; finished last in Group 2 next time and runner-up in Redcar novice (6f, good) last November when last seen; gelded since; not obviously well treated off opening mark but his pedigree provides hope that he'll have more to offer.

Both starts at Newbury, better effort when third over 6.5f last time; however, gives the impression he'll be ideally suited by 7f+ which means this drop back to a bare 6f is a negative.

Has won on good but the ground was soft for his best 2yo performance, when winning a Listed 5f race at Ayr last September; has done much less well in three runs since, including back in a handicap at York in May; needs the first-time tongue-tie to wave a magic wand.

Last season's standout performance was a 12-1 Listed win at Ayr (5f) in September on his sole encounter with soft ground; however, that performance has been an outlier and he's on a tough mark judged on the rest of his form; gelded since latest start last month.

Won a Thirsk maiden (5f, good to firm) last August on his third start but things haven't gone to plan subsequently, including when he was beaten 18l on his comeback in June after wind surgery; rested since and a leap of faith is required at present.

Best effort when getting off the mark on turf at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; lost his chance at the start next time and then seemed to find things happening too quickly over Goodwood's sharp 5f; today's stiffer track should be in his favour, and we may not have seen the best of him yet.

All races at about 6f, looking likely to find his feet at an even better level when beating a fair type at Windsor (good to firm) in June; lost his chance at the start at Newmarket since and remains one to be interested in; however, this very quick 5f may be an eye-opener for him.

Well-connected gelding; justified short odds in 6f AW maiden as 2yo; made a fairly ordinary reappearance but he was much better for it when winning at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in early June, coming through to beat a useful type at this level; up 4lb but can achieve more.

Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June and did well to finish third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) last month having been hampered early; however, he was only fifth of 13 over this C&D in between those runs and was disappointing at Musselburgh on latest outing; others are more compelling.

Off the mark for the year when comfortably winning a C&D handicap last month; two good efforts have followed, running well in the circumstances when third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; the stalls can be an issue but he should be bang there if breaking on terms.
