Form & Verdict
Tough As Nails gelding; half-brother to winners Elusive Belle (2m jumps), Soviet Pimpernel (bumper/2m/2m2f hurdle) and two on Flat (up to 1m); dam 6f 2yo winner (85), sister to 7f-1m2f Group winner Eva's Request and half-sister to Moyglare Stud winner Priory Belle; likeable pedigree but likely to need this on debut.
