Form & Verdict
Placed in the Oaks Trial on turf here in the spring which did her handicap mark no favours; ended her turf campaign with an easy Salisbury win (Class 4) before finishing a close fifth in a Yarmouth Lingfield event 11 weeks ago (finished her race off strongly); another career best required to come out on top today; stable also runs Chasing Aphrodite.

Won two small-field 1m2f events at Chelmsford in the spring; as good as ever when placed in 1m Ascot handicaps on his last two starts; no easy task off his big weight but he's 3-3 on AW and should have a good run in him.

1-9 when trained in France though he ran a blinder when third of the 19 runners in last year's Prix du Jockey Club (10.5f, soft); didn't match that form afterwards and now makes his stable debut after four months off; half-brother to an AW winner and interesting to see what the market says.

He's not the force of old (third in the French Derby in 2021) but, having dropped down the weights, he went close at Haydock (1m, heavy) a fortnight ago; testing ground may suit best but that's not guaranteed; a contender if backing up that latest performance.

Showed a very willing attitude to win novice events at Leicester and Newmarket on his first two starts; pulled hard when disappointing on his handicap debut in August but he was quickly back on the up when splitting Chicester and Aerion Power at Southwell last month; still has more to give but the widest stall isn't ideal on his Polytrack debut.
