Half-brother to very smart Chatham Street Lad; odds-on when unbeaten for Emmet Mullins in a maiden at Cartmel (2m6f, good to soft), novice handicap at Bangor (2m7f, good) and eight-runner handicap at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good to soft); the jockey moved a little more last time but this 5yo has basically been breezing through those races before winning with great authority and even today's 14lb rise might not have his measure.
