By Territories and the second foal of a fairly useful 7f-1m winner (RPR 89); from a good stable so a market move for this gelding would look significant.

Similar level of form in his last three starts as when fifth of eight in first-time blinkers (now removed) at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) this month; up in trip for handicap debut and dam's side of pedigree suggests he may improve for it; each-way claims.
