Form & Verdict
Went close at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in March but he's not gone on from that in three starts since, including when fifth of ten back there 23 days ago (6f); now returns to turf and drops back to 5f on stable debut (left Clive Cox) having been purchased for 25,000gns; betting should be informative.

Didn't have to improve to make a winning stable debut at Leicester in July (5f, good); caught wide when down the field at Chester last time but not sure he's handicapped to win.

Won Leicester maiden (5f, good) last month on stable debut; not at the top of his game at Chepstow next time (5f, good to soft; sole run on slow ground) but fourth of 13 at Windsor (5f, good to firm) since in first-time tongue-tie (retained); might not be far away if absence of hood isn't an issue.

Didn't need to improve to make a winning stable debut for Michael Keady in a Leicester maiden last month (5f, good); ran okay in a Racing League handicap at Chepstow last week but he will need more for the faster ground and/or new tongue-tie if he's to win this from a wide stall.

Form & Verdict
40,000euros foal, 70,000euros yearling; half-brother to winners including Real Appeal (5f-1m including Group 2; RPR 114); ran green but he wasn't beaten far when third of four on recent debut at Nottingham (5f, good to firm; 7-4); there's a good chance he'll improve and he's a leading contender.

9st 6lb

J: Robert Havlin

T: James Tate

Made the breakthrough with a smooth win at Southwell (7f) in October but only sixth of 13 on return visit in November; has a bit to prove now but he's still lightly raced and is feasibly treated on his penultimate run.

All runs over sprint trips, showing best form when second in a 5f maiden at Leicester in July; some encouragement for this trip on pedigree and he could take a step forward now handicapping.

Placed in all three starts since joining this stable but they have been on quick ground, and he was tailed off on soft ground on his debut in September on his sole start for Sylvester Kirk; claims if handling any ease in the ground.

Six-race maiden who dropped out as though something was amiss on recent seasonal debut; consistent in maiden/novice races last year, though, and can pose a potent threat off this mark if back on song for handicap debut.

Showed ability in all three 2yo runs, including a close second in a three-runner contest at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) in September; should have more to offer this season and he's an interesting contender off what looks a fair mark on handicap debut.

Hasn't beaten many in three maidens over 5f-7f on turf/Tapeta; this may be more realistic on handicap debut and interesting to see if there is any support for her; yard also runs Stoneacre Girl.
