Won a bumper in good style last year but very disappointing on hurdle debut in January and made an underwhelming start to his Flat career last month; remains best watched.

Both starts over 7f last August, finishing fourth to useful sort at Doncaster (good to firm) then failing to improve on soft ground at Sandown; gelded since; interesting on the debut form and may still do better.

7-2 and green, shaped with plenty of promise when a debut fifth of ten in novice at Carlisle (6f, good) in September, finishing well after a very slow start; this daughter of Havana Grey was a 500,000euros buy at the breeze-ups as a juvenile and is a big player here with a lot better to come.

Was only 100-30 for Ripon debut when not showing much but he travelled strongly and shaped better in a fair Redcar novice (also 5f; good to firm) in June; now hooded up in trip; looks the type to improve again.
