Form & Verdict
Well bred and looked a very smart prospect in making light work of two 1m4f novice events (Kempton/Newcastle), defying significant greenness on the first occasion; those wins have earned him a high mark but an Ascot Gold Cup entry bodes well; gelded since last seen.

J: Caoilin Quinn

T: Gary Moore

Prolific on the Flat and over hurdles since joining this yard in September 2021 (bought out of a Goodwood seller); however, he's held by Whizz Kid on his penultimate run and it was disappointing that he failed to justify short odds in a weaker handicap at Fontwell.

Has done really well for this yard, winning six of his last 12 starts Flat/hurdles, his latest success at Leicester (2m, soft) in December; held in a better race at Huntingdon (2m, good) last time, but should be more at home back at this level and conditions no problem (won the novices' handicap on this card last year); much respected.

Dual 1m4f winner for Andre Fabre and was competitive in staying Group races for that yard; was competing at level weights when behind Global Heat in all three Dubai starts this year and these terms offer him a sporting chance of being more competitive; has been gelded and now hooded; dangerous to discount.

Appreciated the step up to 1m6f, first-time cheekpieces and soft ground when narrowly taking a valuable handicap at Haydock last July; yet to find any further improvement but, despite the absence of headgear, it was a nice return he made when a staying-on fifth at Ascot (1m4f, soft; just behind Sir Rumi); if happy on the ground (won on good to firm earlier in career) then he should be involved.

Upped to 1m6f, first headgear and first run on softer than good when he got up late on in a valuable handicap at Haydock (soft) last July; went as if he possibly needed the race in October when next seen and always behind in the November Handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, heavy) on final outing; headgear is removed; rather mixed messages but he's respected on that win.

His French wins were over 12.5f, 1m2f and 9.5f, with an overall strike-rate of 3-7; 75,000euros buy in November; probably needs his best form yet to defy this mark on his British debut and he lacks a recent run.
