Form & Verdict
New Bay colt who is out of a half-sister to two Group 1 winners; ran green on Newbury debut in June but he left that form a long way behind when justifying support in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) last month; sets a good standard under a penalty and this well-bred colt could have a lot more to offer.

J: Tom Marquand

T: William Haggas

Maiden and novice winner (6f, good to firm/good) last summer who was a shade disappointing when fifth of ten on handicap debut at Newbury (good to soft) in September; subsequently gelded and his neck second of 13 at Newmarket (also 7f, good) was much more like it on his comeback last month; mixed messages have come out of that race but still commands plenty of respect.

Progressive in maiden/novice events, going close at Carlisle (6f) in August; weakened quickly in a Doncaster sales race with cheekpieces added (retained) last time but that was a tough ask and he should make more of an impact with his sights lowered again.
