Form & Verdict

Soundly beaten on reappearance in Newmarket Group 3 (1m, good) last month and Jim Crowley rides Kathab here; however, this very well-bred colt impressed at Kempton (1m, AW) last November on sole 2yo run and retains potential for his top yard; drops back down in grade and respected under a penalty.

Form & Verdict

9-4 favourite, kept on for promising fourth of eight on last month's debut at Yarmouth (1m, soft), when his inexperience was evident; others have better form but this 525,000gns yearling is with a leading stable and could be a big improver on this second start.
