Made the running when beaten a neck on nursery debut at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last September, which was the second leg of a four-timer for the winner; reappeared with an easy 10l win at 2-5 in a maiden at Southwell (1m, AW; made all) in March and looks well treated today, given that his mark is unaltered since that win.

Form & Verdict
200,000gns yearling who was bought unraced for 5,000gns in October 2024; outran his odds when 100-1 second at Newcastle (Tapeta) on debut one year later but didn't build on that in easy-ground turf novice (also 1m2f) a fortnight on; return to AW might help on this reappearance.

Didn't live up to market expectations on handicap debut in April (1m, AW), when he reared at the start, but this very lightly raced 5yo showed what he is capable of when second at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) three weeks ago, when denied a clear run; unproven on slow ground; on the shortlist.

Gelded after finishing fifth of eight on his turf debut over 7f at Newmarket in April; opening mark looks reasonable and this experiment at sprinting is well worth a go too; interesting.

Camelot colt who went close on handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) last month before making virtually all in similar conditions at Redcar nine days later; this is tougher off 6lb higher but he pulled clear with the runner-up last time and he's still unexposed; respected.

Camelot colt who improved upon his 7f/1m maiden form when short-headed on recent handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm), where he was nicely clear of the third; returns to action before a rise in the weights kicks in and he's a very strong candidate.
