OR:

Form & Verdict
Well-bred colt who ran twice on turf for Sir Michael Stoute in the spring (1m2f, good to firm), finishing a promising third on his Leicester debut but disappointing when sent off odds-on at Windsor next time; makes his debut for his new yard after 212 days off having undergone wind surgery in May and changed hands for 60,000gns in October; brother to a Polytrack winner and market can guide.

With new yard this year and much improved when readily making all in good-ground handicaps at Epsom (1m2f) and York (1m4f) this spring; a first crack at 1m6f isn't fanciful but he needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat in 1m4f Listed race at Newmarket eight weeks ago.
