Form & Verdict

Ran out on debut; however, he's been placed from the front on testing ground in his three maiden hurdles since, tongue tied first time when stepped up to 2m4f at Chepstow latest; absent since November and moving away from soft ground would ask a question, but his form suggests a big run.

Form & Verdict

100,000euros 3yo; half-brother to three winners, two useful; 10-1 when 12l fifth of six in novice at Sandown (2m, heavy) ten weeks ago, which does not set the world alight in form terms but he was a detached last at halfway and made late headway; moves up in trip and might be a big improver but his powerful stable also runs an eye-catching newcomer in Into The Blue.
