Kempton novice winner (1m4f, Polytrack; first-time tongue-tie) in February and ran with plenty of credit when fourth of 11 on handicap debut over that C&D four weeks ago (just behind Red Flyer); may need a stiffer track than this but still open to improvement after just four starts.

Form & Verdict
£95,000 2yo; dam out of half-sister to Group 1 winner Falbrav; 5-2 for C&D debut in January but effort was very short-lived; gelded since; that opening price suggests much more was expected and is not one to give up on.

80-1 for 1m debut at Lingfield but ran a screamer against rivals who mostly had public experience, getting to the front and run down only late; pedigree more about sprint trips so the extra distance is not guaranteed to help but is entitled to improve.

In the frame in three AW novices at around 1m during the winter but, having been off for 140 days, he failed to beat a rival on turf/handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) last month; enough to prove.
