Form & Verdict
Half-brother to Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Halfway To Heaven; fair form on the first (AW) of two Irish starts in April and again when hooded in novice at Salisbury (7f, soft) last month on debut for new yard; so lightly raced, he could be an improver on this handicap debut and needs a market check.

Reared in the stalls on second and third starts; the latter was still an improved effort and winning a six-runner race at Chelmsford (6f, AW) 15 days ago on handicap debut was another; the last-gasp nature of that win gives plenty of hope for 7f today off 2lb higher.

Held off the late finishers to notch his second C&D win (11-2; from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; respectable effort (sixth) over 6f at Wolverhampton latest; Jack Callan's 5lb claim may aid the cause from a handicapping perspective.

Won C&D novice last December by a neck on second start and creditable fourth of 11 when reappearing in C&D handicap in June; needs a bit better but this return from turf (12th of 16 over 1m at Newbury last month) will presumably help her.

Showed some ability in maidens at Tipperary and Dundalk (7f, AW) last year but way below that form on both starts this spring, the latest her handicap debut; sold out of Fozzy Stack's for 30,000gns four weeks ago and the betting moves should be instructive.
