Form & Verdict
Cost 260,000gns as a foal but then fetched only 1,500gns in late 2021; has made the frame in two 1m2f maidens some 163 days apart, both of them on soft ground; likely to need more here if he's to get off the mark but couldn't dismiss.

Form & Verdict
35,000gns yearling; 12th foal; related to three very useful winners from 6f to 1m4f; dam 1m2f AW winner (103) and a sister to the top-class Crimplene; debut has been a while coming and he's already gelded, so perhaps best watched.

Well beaten on all four starts over hurdles, most recently his handicap debut, and he could do with settling better; however, he may have needed that latest outing and has potential off this basement mark in view of his fair Flat ability; not ruled out in weak race in first-time tongue-tie.

Gelded since running his worst race yet in a 1m4f handicap at Leicester in April; plenty of promise prior to that, including on soft ground, and he needs respecting back in a maiden.

Form & Verdict
Ran in two bumpers, finishing second in one and tailed off in the other; thereabouts in 1m3f/1m4f affairs on softish ground at Hamilton but RPRs in the 60s hint at limitations in this company; will be of interest when handicapping.

All three runs have been at Southwell, initially in a good-ground bumper (tenth); ran a nice race last time (1m3f novice) when close up behind two Newmarket raiders and has a future on the evidence of that promise.

Didn't make the ideal break from the stalls at Kempton (1m3f) but he finished well to take second behind a filly who was just ahead of Kaylyn on her Southwell debut; looks a good bet to find something on that form, for all that connections are soon turning to headgear.
