Form & Verdict
Well-bred 95,000euros yearling; unfancied at Ascot and was quite keen in rear, so did well to finish fifth of nine (beaten just under 10l); stable's 2yos are renowned for improving with experience; considered.

Got off the mark at the seventh attempt when dropped back in trip at Sandown (7f, good) a fortnight ago; this 3yo could have more to offer at today's distance and can give another good account up just 3lb.

Six-race maiden; progressive form last term but has moved in the opposite direction this season and latest start (1m2f here; soft ground no excuse) was easily his worst, having been gelded; plenty to prove, even though there's also a fair bit to suggest this drop back in trip will help.

Doubled his career tally over C&D in September; off five months and shaped as if in need of the run when a fading tenth of 13 in 5f Bath handicap on his return in April; can take a step forward.

Useful pedigree and although he's been unplaced in his three runs in 6f turf races, he has shown clear signs of ability, notably when travelling strongly at Newbury (heavy) three weeks ago; faces a more realistic assignment on this nursery debut and there could be plenty of improvement in him.

Better since switched to turf (good ground last three starts) and upped to this trip, on last two occasions winning easily at Chester and by a neck with late bid over C&D; raised another 8lb, which demands plenty more again, but may have more to give.
