16,000euros yearling, 55,000euros 2yo; half-brother to French 7f 2yo winner Major Oak (RPR 88); dam an unraced half-sister to Listed-placed 5f-7f winner Anima Rock; starting out at a modest level and the betting should be revealing.

J: Harry Vigors

Can lead; five AW wins at 6f and 5f; has settled into a handicapping groove since the latest of them in February and although he wasn't far away under Harry Vigors at Wolverhampton (6f; blinkers replaced cheekpieces) 11 days ago he isn't obviously ahead of his mark.

Made it 5-11 on AW when landing a Class 4 handicap at Chelmsford (6f, Polytrack) last month; only 2lb higher here but he's not easy to predict and needs to bounce back after a disappointing run at Kempton last time.

Often placed before getting off the mark in a C&D novice in January; two 6f handicap runs since returning from a three-month break have been underwhelming; back up in trip and down in class so there could be a bigger effort forthcoming.

Attracted support on his Windsor debut last May (6f, good to firm) and he showed some promise in fourth of the nine runners; gelded prior to this reappearance; should be capable of better but has to concede race fitness.

All three wins at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) including two this year; 0-9 on turf, though, and an easy lead seems unlikely, especially from a wide draw; stable also runs Wedgewood.

0-10 and although he ran well when third of eight at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) and second of nine at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) last month, his fourth of six at Bath (5.7f, firm) eight days ago wasn't so hot; needs to get back on track.
