Form & Verdict
100,000gns yearling who is half-brother to three winners at up to 1m; 11-1 on recent debut at Doncaster (7f, soft), when he raced freely and was also squeezed for room as the race began to take shape; should come on for that promising effort; big player.

Form & Verdict
Stayed on for sixth place (beaten over 4l) at Lingfield (7f, AW) latest, an improvement on his debut effort; pedigree suggests he'll be more effective over middle distances in time so going up to 1m looks a step in the right direction.
