Lightly raced 4yo; good fourth in Listed race at Goodwood last spring; gelded and off 11 months, shaped promisingly when third of 14 on handicap debut at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago, doing his best work late on; nudged up 1lb but still looks seriously unexposed; strong claims.

Edged out St Leger runner-up Rahiebb in Haydock novice (11.6f, good) last spring; badly hampered when well-held fourth to Amiloc in a Listed race at Goodwood (1m3f) next time and not too hard to forgive a heavy defeat behind that same rival in the King Edward VII over C&D at the Royal meeting (good to firm); off since (gelded); a very interesting handicap newcomer, particularly if the betting speaks in his favour.

Got up late to win Haydock novice (11.6f, good) in April on second start and a line can be put through his soundly beaten Listed fourth to Amiloc at Goodwood as he was badly hampered; others have a lot more substance to their form but he's well bred (by Frankel out of two-time Group 1 winner Izzi Top) and retains potential for his top yard; no surprise to see a good run.

T: William Haggas

By Frankel out of dual 1m2f Group 1 winner Izzi Top; made a promising debut at Nottingham (1m, soft) in October and built on that substantially when always close up but delivered late to justify favouritism in a novice at Haydock (near 1m4f, good) four weeks ago; this Derby entry has plenty of potential and no shortage of stamina.
