Half-sister to Group 3 and dual Listed winner at up to 1m Sporting Chance; 40-1 and hooded, showed promise amidst greenness when fifth of ten on 1m Doncaster debut (soft) last autumn, staying on after getting outpaced; up 4f in trip on reappearance; likely to progress.

Form & Verdict
Showed plenty in three AW runs over the winter but also didn't look entirely straightforward, lugging to his left under pressure when going down by half a length to a Charlie Johnston runner at Lingfield (1m4f) when last seen in February; hood worn on that occasion retained; has been gelded ahead of this switch to turf.

T: Roger Varian

0-7; runner-up three times in small fields over 1m4f-2m on turf/AW last year, but finished a well-beaten fourth of five at Goodwood (1m6f, heavy) this month; possible that the combination of a nine-month absence and deep ground found him out so he may show more on this better surface.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up three times at two, including on heavy ground, but did look wayward, hanging under pressure again with cheekpieces added (retained) in 1m3f Kempton nursery in December; more than capable of winning races if a subsequent gelding operation has helped to iron out his kinks.

Looked as though he might be on the way back when third of eight on return from 320 days off at Thirsk (1m4f, good to soft) in July, but has gone quiet again twice since; now 0-13 and hard to warm to despite dropping into a Class 6 for the first time.

A fair 1m4f winner in 2023 but he's yet to hit top form this term, tenth of 12 in 1m Ayr handicap ten days ago; needs a step forward.

Just the one win from 13 and that was over 1m4f last August; quiet this year and now runs over 1m, the shortest trip he's contested since 7f debut; risky enough.
