Form & Verdict
170,000gns yearling; made a promising start when a close fourth at Newmarket (7f, good) last month and he found improvement when a clear second of 19 at Newbury (7f, good) two weeks ago; sets useful standard on that form and he has plenty of slow-ground winners in his pedigree; strong contender.

Made all for ready win at Newmarket (good to firm) two weeks ago, proving suited by the step up to 1m and taking record to 2-5; not sure to get such an easy lead in this bigger field but otherwise brings good claims, being progressive.
