Form & Verdict
Made a winning 2yo debut at Newmarket (6f, good) but he missed last year and was gelded in the autumn; shade unlucky not to retain his unbeaten record when beaten a nose at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on his comeback a fortnight ago; this is a fairly quick second run back from a big absence but he's scared most of them off and is impossible to oppose.

Interesting that connections have persevered with this 4yo having been absent since making a winning debut at Newmarket in August 2024; has been gelded in the interim and commands plenty of respect, especially if the market signals are favourable.

Third foal; closely related to winners Boiling Point (7f including 2yo/Listed; RPR 106) and Resolute Man (7f 2yo; 89); dam placed 1m AW (74), half-sister to 1m4f Group 3 winner Stellar Mass; commands a market check.

Betting Forcast

1/25 Asuka, 33/1 Coilltedudeisback, 12/1 Yazoo

Verdict

A deeply uncompetitive novice in which ASUKA will need to have his laces tied together not to score. Yazoo is the most likely to take advantage if the selection fails to hit the target.[Richard Russell]
