Form & Verdict
Kingman half-brother to 1m Group 1 winner Snow Lantern; made low-key start at Kempton in November but he showed promise with his fifth of 13 there (7f) on return last month; open to more progress but he needs another major step forward back up in trip.

Faded in a 1m Listed race at Saint-Cloud (heavy) in November; had previously won a novice and a handicap (good) at that trip but the return to 7f worked well for him at Doncaster (soft) in October when he was bumped and later met trouble, only just failing against one on the crest of a wave; that strong form gives him solid claims.

Lightly raced 4yo; campaigned mostly at 1m but his two efforts this term, including when sixth in the Lincoln here, suggest this return to 7f is worth exploring; good second at Doncaster (soft) 12 months ago; possibilities, provided he takes well to first-time headgear.

Wrapped up a good 3yo campaign with smart effort for second of 12 in 1m Doncaster handicap (soft) last October; couldn't justify favouritism but still made a respectable return to the track when sixth of 22 in the Lincoln there (1m, good to soft) in March; off a further six months since but evidently capable when fresh and remains with untapped potential.

Form & Verdict
Plenty of promise with his third at Leicester (7f, good to firm) and close second at Doncaster (1m, soft) in first two juvenile runs; failed to beat a rival in last two starts but the first was the Group 1 Futurity and latest was a hot conditions race at Chelmsford last month; back in much calmer waters now and he sets a useful standard on his best form; been gelded and cheekpieces are added.

Settling has been an issue and he was always behind when 25-1 in 1m novice at Nottingham last time; needs improvement on this handicap debut but his dam was a useful 1m winner who stayed 1m4f and a tongue-tie is added; from a leading yard and worth a market check.
