Form & Verdict
Has run to a fairly useful level when placed on all three starts in maiden/novice events at up to 1m (good/good to soft); this half-brother to smart pair Candleford and Atty Persse remains one who could have more to offer and his leading stable has won this race twice in recent years.

Justified market support to make winning handicap debut over C&D (good to soft; from 4lb lower) in February 2025; failed to excel in a hood at Wetherby or Huntingdon (November/December); returns from a four-month break on better ground, which holds few fears; merits respect.

All the sharper with his debut behind him when easily winning an Epsom maiden (7f, good to firm) in July; improved again when second under a penalty at Chester (7f, soft) next time; had a tricky draw when eighth of 20 in a 7f nursery at the Ebor meeting here and that shouldn't be taken to suggest he can't make his presence felt from a mark in the mid-80s; should stay 1m.

Fair fourth on nursery debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) in August and easily won three-runner nursery at Sandown (1m, good) 16 days later; while it's not easy to gauge the strength of that form, the handicapper could have put him up a lot more than 6lb for that 8.5l success.
