Form & Verdict
Has shown ability as when making the frame at Brighton (7f, good to firm) and Thirsk (1m, good) last month, but out of his depth in the sales race at Doncaster 12 days ago; half-brother to two AW winners, but not sure the drop in trip is ideal on nursery debut.

Form & Verdict
Progressive in three starts on turf, finishing second of nine in a Sandown maiden (5f, soft) 11 days ago; makes his nursery debut in first-time cheekpieces and is closely related to AW winners, but he has hung in all of his starts which would be a concern on this sharp track.

Promise as a 2yo and made short work of four rivals in a C&D novice on last month's return to action (blinkered first time); 4lb rise for that means he is 7lb higher than when second in a C&D nursery last September (only handicap run); improvement required but conditions clearly suit him well.

0-4 but he's finished runner-up in last two starts and latest was a close call on handicap/AW debut over C&D in September; returns after four months off, but he has a progressive profile and is a big player back in a novice; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.
