2,500euros foal, 21,000gns yearling, resold 40,000gns yearling; third foal; half-brother to 7f AW 2yo winner Spycraft (RPR 70); dam unraced half-sister to 7f winner Never Better, out of 1m4f winning sister to Group 1 winners Magical (1m2f-1m4f) and Rhododendron (1m-1m2f); makes his debut in ordinary race and he needs a close look for in-form yard.

Both starts on AW, scoring comfortably at Southwell (7f) as a 2yo then running well under a penalty at Kempton (1m); holds a Derby entry and may be suited by going up further in distance today but faces a stiff task at this level; bottom on bare figures.

First foal of a triple Group 3 winner (6f-1m2f); looked inexperienced at Ayr (5f, good) in April but he failed to live up to market expectations again when eighth at Chelmsford (7f, AW; 5-2) last month; still early days but he needs a transformation on this switch to Tapeta.
