£60,000 breeze-up 2yo; last of seven when weakening on his debut at Hamilton (5f, good) last month but he was a very well-backed favourite that day; hood/tongue-tie added and it will interesting to see if his backers return.

Enjoyed an excellent winter on the AW, scoring three times at 6f, and comes here on the back of a good third of ten in 6f Lingfield handicap 19 days ago when not enjoying the smoothest of passages; can play a prominent role again back on turf.

He has won three of his last four starts (good second on the other occasion) yet has only gone up 8lb; finished with a flourish to win over C&D on Good Friday and he is a leading contender despite his wide draw.

Made it 2-2 in a visor when winning narrowly at Kempton (6f) and kept on well for second over 5f at Wolverhampton despite running in just a tongue-tie (as here); 1lb higher but Jack Callan now takes over with his 5lb claim; considered.

Form & Verdict
Half-brother to four winners, most notably Ice Max (7f/1m including 2yo/Group 2; RPR 114); 22-1 for his debut at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) but he showed speed before finishing fourth of 12; drop to 5f is unlikely to pose a problem and he's almost certainly capable of better.

Made the frame in three of his four starts on turf (5f/6f) for David Menuisier as a 2yo; changed hands for 9,000gns in October and makes his stable/handicap debut after seven months off having been gelded in the meantime; half-brother to a couple of AW winners and the market should be informative.

Unproven on turf and his form has been up and down since he won at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January, with a below-par run at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on last month's stable debut; however, he's not ruled out each-way.
