First foal of a Group-placed 1m winner whose siblings include Oaks/dual Arc winner Enable; attracted support into 15-2 on recent Wetherby debut (7f, good) and he ran well to finish third of 16 behind a useful prospect; has quite a bit to find with Upscale but he should know more this time and is open to progress over this longer trip.
