Form & Verdict
Finished third behind the subsequent Group 3 winner Orne in a 7f novice here on debut last September; odds-on favourite to win another 7f novice here one month later, only to bump into another smart juvenile (subsequently won a French Listed race); should have the pace to cope with the drop in trip and he's well capable of winning at this level.

0-10 for current stable; made the frame three times last May but wasn't in the same form afterwards in 2025; turnaround would give him a good chance off current mark.

37,000euros yearling; third foal; half-brother to 6f/7f winner Bear To Dream (RPR 69); dam placed 6f 2yo (70), closely related to 6f-1m winner Fifth Dimension; stable's 2yos have made a slowish start by their standards but he looks a likely type.

Confirmed the promise of his York debut last October (6f, soft) by comfortably landing a Wolverhampton maiden ten days later (6f); that form looks solid and he should make a bold bid on this reappearance, with further progress on the cards this season.

Two best runs have been on the AW over 6f, winning a novice and then close up under a penalty; just threatening to lose his way and cheekpieces didn't bring much to the party last time; now goes in blinkers.

Never a serious threat in well-contested handicap at Newmarket's Craven meeting two weeks ago, but he'd previously been consistent in three other 6f races, including on soft ground on debut; shapes as if he'll stay this longer trip; respected.

Easy front-running success at Lingfield in July (7f, good to firm); spoiled his chance by hanging right at Sandown later that month and never landed a blow in a Class 4 at Doncaster last time; hood left off now back down in trip and grade.

Evidently suited by drop back to 7f when making all to win by 6l at Lingfield (good to firm) last month, her second handicap, and was not fazed by a change of tactics when keeping on from off the pace for third at Sandown (7f, good) last week; likely to make his presence felt again here.

Looked a smart prospect when running away with a Kempton novice last November (6f) and again when making all at Doncaster on his handicap debut in May (6f, good to firm; hooded first time); low-key runs twice since (Royal Ascot on first occasion) but the potential remains for a bigger effort at some point; stall 12 not ideal though.
