Form & Verdict
Well behind Charming Whisper on his debut here but proved a different proposition when the well-backed winner of a Newmarket seller (7f, good); the runner-up was previously placed in a nursery there and this gelding clocked a decent time; was bought back in for 21,500gns; player.

Concedes weight all round but has a solid profile, with three wins in a row in selling novice/races (7f/1m, good/AW) before fair sixth in Doncaster sales race (6.5f, soft) and good third on recent nursery debut at Newmarket (1m, good to firm); could be thereabouts.

Left Sir Mark Prescott after disappointing nursery debut in October but made all for emphatic Brighton maiden win (7f, good) for new stable in May and proved he can be very competitive off new handicap mark when sixth (just behind Brunel Nation) in valuable race at Goodwood (7f, good) later that month; raced wide throughout there and could still have a bigger run in him.
