Form & Verdict
210,000gns foal; showed signs of inexperience on 6f debut at Newmarket (good to firm) last week but the situation was accepted and it was an encouraging enough start, albeit against fellow newcomers; should improve for the run and an extra furlong; obvious contender if coping with the soft ground.

Has a fine strike-rate on turf (4-8) including a win at this three-day meeting (7.6f, good) a year ago; would have gone closer with a clearer run when fifth of 13 in the Rosebery at Kempton (1m3f, AW) on his reappearance (Respond third); still open to improvement and rain wouldn't be a problem; major player.

Won on reappearance at Chester (7.5f, good) last May and tapped back into that promise for a clearcut win at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) in September; up 6lb for this first run since and it's also his AW debut, but he probably retains potential.

Useful form as a 2yo but struggled in his three runs last season; sold out of Alice Haynes's stable for 22,000gns last October; likely to come good for new connections off a reduced mark but this looks a pretty stiff task after eight months away.
