Form & Verdict
Has shown clear promise with second-place finishes at Newbury (1m, soft) last October and Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March (winner has won again since); beaten 2l in a decent Newbury maiden (1m, good) since and this looks a good opportunity on AW debut.

Nicely bred colt whose sole handicap attempt resulted in a neck win at the Curragh (1m1f, good; solid form) on Irish Derby day; best to forgive latest effort (faced difficult task); remains of interest.

Promise on first three starts (including on soft/good to soft) before winning Wolverhampton maiden (8.6f, AW) in June; followed up in big-field handicap at the Curragh (1m1f, good) in first-time cheekpieces (retained); this is a much tougher test of his credentials and Tom Marquand rides stablemate Saber Strike, but he's very well bred and in top hands; not ruled out.

Best effort from five starts came when narrowly denied at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW; winner won a handicap next time) in June but below his best in two turf runs since, including when a 4l second of five at Nottingham in July; returning to AW may help and he sets the standard.

Progressive form in his first three runs culminating in a near-miss in a Wolverhampton maiden (8.6f, AW) last month; flopped on handicap debut at Ffos Las (1m2f; last of five) but may have had stamina issues and he sets a good standard on this drop back in trip; key player back in a novice.

Not even this low a mark looks generous on what she's shown and has raced over 1m and 1m2f; however, as a handicap debutante from her top yard she earns some respect.
