Form & Verdict

225,000euros foal, 340,000gns yearling; by Camelot; stayed on for sixth, without landing a serious blow, in a Yarmouth maiden (7f, good) that's thrown up a couple of winners since; should improve with the longer distance looking a plus; respected.

Form & Verdict

Absent since his inauspicious debut (trailed home last of ten) in 6f contest at Haydock in May; bred to be suited by this longer trip but market may prove the best guide on return to action.
