Left his first two runs (1m, good/heavy) miles behind to win at 125-1 at Newbury (7f, good to soft) three weeks ago; has an attractive pedigree, so that latest performance is unlikely to be a one-off, and he has the potential to be better than this opening mark.

Bettered mildly encouraging 2yo debut when clear second of five behind very useful rival at Yarmouth (1m, good) in October; this drop back in trip is not an obvious move, but she should have more improvement to come this season and her Irish Oaks entry suggests she's held in some regard.
