Third in his only start for Andre Fabre at Chantilly (1m, very soft) in April and had little to beat when making a successful stable debut at Kempton (7f, Polytrack; 1-3) last month; bred to be useful (out of a Group 3 winner) and a major chance of going in again for in-form yard.

Form & Verdict
Both starts this month, showing greenness when fourth of 14 on her Kempton debut but showing a good attitude to win by a neck at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) nine days later; not sure dropping a furlong on an easier track is ideal, but yard going well and still a major player.
