12-1, encouragement among the greenness before fading into eighth on debut at Sandown (7f, soft); out of a C&D scorer so grounds for optimism switching surface; can take a good step forward if knowing more today.

Won his novice last season over 7f but kept to 6f this campaign and has won handicaps on good and soft ground; probably not helped by a slow pace when sixth at Newcastle but wasn't all that far away; remains of interest.

Form & Verdict
Sets clear form standard on August's Wolverhampton maiden success (6f), either or both of the hood and the turning track inspiring major improvement; hit the line hard enough to suggest this new trip will be within range, and brother Boccaccio was 2-2 over 7f at 2 (one C&D); major player.

Cost 450,000gns as a yearling but he was turned over at odds-on in small field at Newmarket (5f) in May and he finished well held again in an Ascot maiden (6f) last month; in good hands and still very early days but he needs a transformation with hood added.

Good fourth in this in 2024 (soft) and respectable eighth last season (good to soft), making his reappearance each time; runner-up on three of his five subsequent starts last term (good to soft/soft); his four wins have come on soft/heavy going and such testing ground today seems unlikely.

Stepped up on his debut effort when fourth at Chester latest (7f, good to soft), again keeping on as if needing 1m-plus as much as his pedigree suggests; respected, but surprising if nothing appreciates the trip more.
