Form & Verdict
Promising third last year on first two starts (1m, good/soft) then won Haydock maiden (1m, good to soft) in September; his dam was a 1m2f/1m4f winner and it seems likely that he'll improve for this step up in trip on handicap/seasonal debut; trainer won this in 2024.

Plenty of ability all 2yo starts, on final occasion always front rank to win a maiden at Haydock (1m, good to soft); dam was a 1m2f/1m4f winner and he duly improved at 1m2f when reappearing in a six-runner handicap at Sandown (good) three weeks ago, leading over 1f out and just holding on; up 6lb but should have more improvement in him.

Ran okay when third of seven on debut at Newbury (1m, good) last month and built on that with close third of five at Ascot (1m, soft) three weeks ago, form that has been franked by the runner-up; leading claims today.

Form & Verdict
Best of his four 2yo runs came when second here (7f, soft) in August, and he also showed promise on fast ground; bred to be suited by the step up in trip but he was headstrong on occasions last year, which is a concern, and improvement is needed off his opening mark.

0-6 record includes three runs here but he's run well on all of those visits, including when third of six in a hot Class 4 on his April return; filled that position again at Newmarket (also 1m2f, good) 12 days ago and this free-going sort may benefit from today's drop back to 1m; player.

Best form on return when third of six off this mark on handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f, good) but an enthusiasm to get on with it took him to the front again that day and a repeat would probably see him vulnerable once more.

Third at Newbury (1m, soft) last October was his best form as 2yo and there was promise in his never-dangerous but staying-on fourth of six on handicap/seasonal debut at Sandown (1m2f, good; 6-1 from 8-1) four weeks ago; a big run is probably on its way.

Third of 11 in a novice at Salisbury (1m, good) in October on second start; gelded before he improved again when second of ten to a good prospect at Kempton (1m, AW) in December, which gives him the best form in this line-up; major claims, although 1m2f is not absolutely certain to suit and he's tended to hang right on his last two starts.
