Form & Verdict
Won a maiden on return and shaped well in a close, running-on fourth on handicap debut next time, both 1m at this track (good); built on that when winning by a nose in 11-runner race at Ascot (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, when he made up his ground in taking fashion but hung left when challenging; up 6lb but well worth a go at 1m2f and still brings abundant promise.

Perhaps unsuited by soft ground and/or front-running on second start, as he's otherwise improved his rating every time; tongue tied for minor honours in two median auction races (1m and 10.5f) this term and, despite his pedigree, 1m4f for handicap debut looks interesting on the latest evidence.
