Third foal; half-brother to multiple 6f winner Atalanta's Boy (RPR 101); dam 5f 2yo winner (RPR 69), out of 1m winner from family of top sprinter/miler Thatch; presumably not burning up the gallops to be starting off with this test on belated debut but Oisin Murphy is booked; market can guide.

Made a successful debut at Beverley (7f, good to firm) in May, but not built on it in four starts since and particularly disappointing on a soft surface the last twice; makes his AW debut in a first-time visor, but others make greater appeal.

Form & Verdict
All races at 6f, improving on a close third on Newcastle AW when giving it a good shot against useful rivals at Doncaster in April (soft); heavy ground was too demanding at Thirsk since and now has to show 7f on fast ground suits; bang there if it does.

Sole win from 25 starts came in a novice at Southwell in December 2023; ran well when fourth there last month but he needs to bounce back from two disappointing runs since; blinkers now replace cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Stepped up on fairly promising debut when close to overhauling the front-running winner at Redcar recently (7f, good to soft); the form didn't look strong with the favourite underperforming but he shapes as if more of a test will suit and can improve some more.

Continues to drop down the weights and didn't run badly when fifth of seven in first-time cheekpieces at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) three weeks ago; however, he's struggled in the main this season; no headgear today.

Six-race maiden but she ran her best race so far when a 3l fifth of 13 at Redcar (1m, good) 16 days ago; 2lb lower here but she was never dangerous last time and needs to build on that on this drop back in trip.
