9st 2lb

Won Leicester novice event by 5l on debut and landed a valuable sales event over an extended 6f at this venue last September; finished 4l behind runner-up Gstaad when a 50-1 shot in the Dewhurst; reversed the form of that race with fourth-placed Zavateri when landing the Greenham at Newbury (7f, good) on reappearance; missed the 2,000 Guineas.

Comfortably justified favouritism in Curragh sales race (6.3f, yielding) to follow up his debut win; rank outsider in the Dewhurst (7f, good to firm) but ran well on bare figures to finish sixth of nine, just under 2l behind Zavateri; difficult to rule out further improvement this year.

Two from two, namely comfortable wins in Leicester novice event (7f, good to firm) and Curragh sales race (6.3f, yielding); has quickly reached a useful standard and may well show further progress, which is admittedly needed; bottom of this pack on ratings.

9st 7lb

T: K R Burke

75,000euros yearling; first foal of a 7f winner in Germany/Belgium; easy to back when making winning debut last month in 7f Leicester novice event, clear of an odds-on shot inside final furlong to win well; showed plenty of speed then so drop back in trip shouldn't be a problem.
