Form & Verdict
Took a significant step up on his debut effort when going close at Salisbury (1m2f, soft) latest, his effort there suggesting that this further step up in trip will suit; as a brother to three winners with RPRs of at least 100 (notably Armory; 119), there may be scope for further improvement.

T: Andrew Balding

Excellent 3yo season culminated in his Listed win at Ascot (1m6f, soft) and, after a delayed reappearance last year, he found career-best form to win a good handicap at Doncaster (14.5f, good to soft; tongue tied second time) in September on final outing; the Yorkshire Cup and Ascot Gold Cup entries are striking but ideally he would be on ground softer than good.

Sometimes slowly away; 4-8 last year, culminating in his Listed win at Ascot (1m6f, soft) in October; not seen this term until July and back to form when a creditable, staying-on ninth of 22 at 40-1 in the Ebor at York (1m6f, good to firm; tongue tied first time) three weeks ago; down 2lb and a return to more testing ground may well suit.

Form & Verdict
300,000euros yearling; has shown promise on both starts, here (1m, good) on debut last September and also last month when third in a Newbury maiden (1m2f, good); further step up in trip looks positive; cheekpieces go on; should be thereabouts.
