Form & Verdict
Cost 400,000gns as a yearling; isolated far side when close up behind Zain Blue in a valuable maiden at York's Ebor meeting (good to firm) and wasn't helped by a steady pace when a beaten favourite at Ayr (7f, good to soft); strong form claims and remains capable of better.

0-4 last season but this prominent-racer ran well more often than not, including when third in the Group 3 John Of Gaunt at Haydock (7f, good) on his reappearance; also effective at 1m and on slow ground; there can be optimism he'll be at or close to the top of his game on this seasonal debut; chance.

Didn't go unbacked when winning with a bit in hand at Southwell (7f AW) a month ago; mixed messages as to the strength of that form and he'll do well to concede a penalty to some of these.
