Four placed efforts in the north reflect a consistent start to his career, good second in Beverley handicap (7.5f) most recently; related to a couple of winners for his owner and has shown enough to suggest he can emulate them; solid.

Frankel colt who has shaped promisingly when placed on each of his three outings, sticking to his task well when third of 11 in 7f Catterick maiden on his return last month; capable of better now stepping into handicap company, especially over this stiffer track; big player.

Frankel colt out of a Group 2 winner; promise when placed over 6f at Doncaster (good) and 7f at Redcar (good to soft) last year; shaped particularly well at the latter venue given he lost plenty of ground at the start when his blindfold appeared to get stuck; definitely more to come.

Promising debut in a traditionally strong York maiden last August (7f, good to firm; trained by John and Sean Quinn); couldn't build on it on a slower surface at Redcar in October (stable debut); remains with potential and this trip should suit on pedigree.

Down the field in three 7f novice runs last autumn but the fact he's a half-brother to useful winners in France and the US marks him down as a potential improver in low-level handicaps; one to keep an eye on in the betting.
