Trainer still to get rolling with 2yos this spring but is a pleasing 10-37 with them here; this 55,000euros early foal, who holds a couple of sales-race entries, is a likely looking newcomer.

A fairly useful 5f winner in 2024 for Archie Watson; missed 2025 and yet to show that form for his current yard this season, finishing last of six in 5f Hamilton handicap 20 days ago; others are preferred.

He ran his best race for current connections when third of five at Catterick five weeks ago (6f, good; blinkers first time); dropped 2lb but suspicion he will remain vulnerable.

Useful as 2yo for Archie Watson; absent for 501 days prior to three modest AW efforts for his new stable this year; dropped 11lb and now tried in blinkers so a revival isn't out of the question; not a solid option though.

Form & Verdict
Yard has made a decent start with juveniles this term and is 20-101 with them here; this £45,000 yearling is a half-brother to a 2yo winner, out of a 2yo winner, albeit over 1m and 7f respectively; holds a couple of notable entries in the autumn and the market will guide.

Back in good form off his reduced mark, winning easily at Southwell (5f) before nearly defying a penalty at Chepstow (good to firm; effective on softer); 3lb higher for this but well drawn and must have a shout for all that he's back up in grade; Seamus Cronin aboard for last three races.

Has dropped a fair way down the weights over the last year or so, but looked back in prime form when scooting clear to win readily by 4l at Southwell (5f, AW) last week; also suited by good to firm turf and is 4lb ahead of the handicapper under his 5lb penalty.

Form & Verdict
Debut second on Tapeta last month, following a slow start, but didn't improve on that on soft ground last time; trainer is 3-12 with 2yos here but the first-time tongue-tie will need to help this representative if he's to enhance those numbers.

Regressive on the AW earlier in the year for this yard, having missed a year, but the return to turf and drop to 0-55 company did the trick under Rossa Ryan last time; going back up 7lb will test him but he's only had a handful of starts on grass and may well be up to it.

13-race maiden but he's reached the frame in sprint handicaps on AW in his last four starts; remains unexposed on turf and he could go well again off a sliding mark back in this sphere.

Trainer's first two 2yo runners this spring finished well held and he's just 1-27 with juveniles here down the years; this 45,000gns yearling is bred to be sharp, though, and holds a few sales-race entries later on.
