Form & Verdict
Has improved in all three starts, winning at Carlisle (6f, good) in August and going down by just a short head in the big sales race at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft) last month; the form hs been well boosted with the winner following up in the Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar and the fourth landing the Goffs Million; much respected for last-year's winning stable which also runs Kyeema.

Form for new yard this term comprises two placed efforts over 1m and a running-on sixth over 7f; useful over 6f early in career but isn't crying out for the return to this trip.

Promising juvenile last term, winning a Naas maiden on debut before a Group 3 fourth at the end of the campaign; however, didn't show much in Dubai at the start of the year and it was a low-key return last month; enough to prove from this mark.
