Thrice-raced colt whose form features a debut success last August and neck second, looking unlucky, at Pontefract (6f, good; had traffic issues) on handicap/seasonal debut; remains open to further improvement and commands respect.

Won a big-field maiden on debut at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last August; disappointing at Haydock (6f, good) in September but pulled hard; brings potential to this 3yo campaign and could prove to be ahead of the handicapper, provided he settles better.

Form & Verdict
Kingman colt who cost 800,000gns as a yearling and he's in the Middle Park; kept on encouragingly for second at Windsor (6f, good to form; 7-2) after losing his position midrace; improvement is on the cards and perhaps quite a lot of it.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: William Haggas

Raced at 6f; won three times last year, notably a York Listed race (good; also won on good to soft); improved again when coming with a strong late run (started slowly) for 0.5l third to Coppull in Ascot Group 3 (good to firm) on reappearance three weeks ago; probably capable of better again.

Promise on good to firm on debut; won his next three starts, two novice events and a York Listed race, before pulling his chance away over C&D on Champions Day; improvement required now upped to a Group 3 but he's in excellent hands and still has some potential.

190,000euros brother to three winners, including at Group 3 level (6f-7f 2yo); well-held second of four at Ripon (6f, good) last month but he ran green and that was a promising effort behind a 2-5 shot; should know more this time and he's a key player for yard that won a division of this race last year.

9st 6lb

J: Clifford Lee

T: Mark Rimell

Second or third in his three runs in 2yo novice events (all 6f, good ground or slower); unplaced in two 6f handicaps this year but he drops in class today and his pedigree strongly suggests stepping up to 7f will help; finished behind Dublin Bay at Ascot last time but was racing away from the main action; well drawn and a return to more positive tactics could see him run a big race.

Clear ability when placed all three starts (6f, good/good to soft) at two; gelded and stuck on from the rear when fifth to Arry Up at Kempton (6f, AW) on reappearance/handicap debut one month ago; will need to have come on for the outing but that's not beyond the realms.

Made the frame in all three 2yo races, finding one too good when 2-7 favourite for run-of-the-mill Redcar novice (6f, good) on most recent occasion; gelded during subsequent break; probably needs improvement on this handicap/AW debut.

Stepped up from 6f when making a winning nursery debut over this far at Leicester (good) and had a bit up his sleeve despite the narrow margin of victory; the handicapper didn't hold back with 6lb but the front two were clear; will have to handle this softer surface.
