Form & Verdict
Needs to improve if he's to take this and is likely to want further in due course (half-brother to Gold Cup winner Subjectivist); however, this well-related 450,000gns yearling has shown ability in two runs to date over today's trip, and this will be a greater test of stamina on softer ground.

J: Oisin Murphy

Off the mark at the third attempt in Nottingham novice (1m2f, good to soft) last August; absent since (gelded in interim) and needs to prove he retains his promise, but this well-bred 450,000gns yearling is with a leading stable and has potential off his opening mark; watch the betting.

Placed on first five starts (including on soft) before dominant display in Lingfield handicap (1m2f, good to firm) in June; saddle slipped and lost weightcloth at York six days later (eased; disqualified); he's 11lb higher than two starts ago but this unexposed 4yo could have more to offer.

Beaten a long way in two runs on AW for Dean Ivory in 2020; didn't look straightforward (hung badly right on home turn) on his belated return at Nottingham (1m2f, good to soft) ten weeks ago but he did at least show ability in fourth; more will be needed.
