Palace Pier colt who cost 62,000gns as a yearling; half-brother to winners Bullet Point (1m; RPR 104), Pastiche (7f; 96) and El Salvaje (1m2f; 77); dam a 5f 2yo/7f winner (102); one of three newcomers and a watching brief is probably best.

Maiden who is proving consistent and ran creditably at Ascot (1m, good) most recently; should give his running but chance of winning largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear.

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.
