Form & Verdict
160,000gns yearling who has finished unplaced in his first three starts, but has improved in each of them and was beaten less than 3l into fourth of 14 over 7f here three weeks ago (winner has gone in again since); not guaranteed to appreciate the extra furlong for this handicap debut on breeding, but still worth a second look with a tongue-tie given a go.

Useful on his day but losing run is mounting up and two duck eggs this year leave a question mark over his current form; chance partly depends on how well he responds to the removal of usual cheekpieces.

Showed his effectiveness over a straight 1m when beaten a nose in the 2025 Lincoln at Doncaster (good to soft) and he's now 3lb lower; several respectable efforts afterwards, and 6f on good ground was probably too sharp on his sole outing in Bahrain over the winter; certainly well handicapped on best form and well worth a market check after 106 days off.

0-10 on turf but he went very close behind Godwinson in the Lincoln (1m, good to soft) in March and is also effective on good ground; denied a clear run when keeping on for a close seventh of 12 at Newcastle (7f, AW) three weeks ago and he's one to be interested in now back up in trip.
