800,000euros yearling buy, by Kingman; made his debut in newcomers race at Deauville (7f, good to soft) last month when 13-10 favourite and always close up, finishing a promising second of ten; that should be a strong race and he has a Group 1 Futurity entry; major claims.

Well beaten in Bahrain in February when last seen and a wide draw could prove tough for this front-runner; however, he won two C&D handicaps last summer (good/good to firm) and was back on the scoresheet in Bahrain in January; unbeaten at York and could make a bold bid at a big price.
