T: George Boughey

In cheekpieces the last twice; pushed the long odds-on favourite close on his handicap debut (1m2f, good to firm) and then won as he liked at Wolverhampton on Tuesday (8.6f); looks well in with the penalty and this 295,000gns yearling could easily rate much higher.

10st 2lb

J: Mr Henry Callan

T: George Boughey

Made a long odds-on favourite work for it, despite having raced freely in a small field, on his handicap debut (1m2f; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago; this 295,000gns yearling remains open to improvement and is high on the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Made low-key seasonal/handicap debut when midfield at Thirsk (6f, good) three weeks ago and is now 0-5 as a sprinter; might have needed that recent outing and this new trip could plausibly unlock improvement.

0-4 but he did finish in the first three in each of his first three starts, including over C&D in August; below his best at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) when last seen 253 days ago and has since been gelded; handicap debut.
