Form & Verdict
Did well to win sole 2yo start at Salisbury (1m, soft) last October and kept on well for second on reappearance in recent Kempton novice (1m, AW); this Ulysses colt has potential over this longer trip on handicap debut and he's one to be interested in for a trainer who does well at Sandown.
