Form & Verdict
63,000euros first foal of a 6f Listed winner (RPR 100); set the pace when prominent in the market at Beverley (5f, good to soft) two weeks ago but he couldn't hang in there and finished a well-held third of ten; should benefit from that experience but he needs plenty of improvement upped in trip.

Form & Verdict
Finished fourth of five when a market springer here (5f, soft; 17-2) two weeks ago but he looked inexperienced and shaped with some promise behind a useful stablemate in that race; should know much more on this step up in trip and he's a likely improver on his second start.
