80,000gns half-brother to three useful winners (6f-1m2f) including on Polytrack; well held in three qualifying runs on turf, but he now switches to a nursery and it wouldn't be a surprise if he showed a lot more at this level; interesting contender with Oisin Murphy booked.

Six-race maiden but he went close in a Wolverhampton nursery (5f, Tapeta) on his penultimate run and things didn't go his way after a slow start at Southwell last time; this step back up in trip should suit and is a big player if he gets the breaks this time.
