Form & Verdict
All three runs have been at 6f and he's been placed in two of them, including a good second behind the favourite in a C&D novice (good) two weeks ago; that form puts him firmly in the picture here and this well-bred colt is open to more progress.

Most of his turf form is on good/good to firm; looks interesting on his best efforts last season but he was disappointing at Wolverhampton in March and sole win was in a maiden in June 2024; others preferred.

4,000gns yearling; half-sister to four winners but has plenty of stamina in her pedigree and she got outpaced when a well-held sixth on Thirsk debut (5f, soft) in April; now goes up in trip after a short break but she has lots to find and is probably a longer-term prospect.

Beverley fillies' maiden winner (7.5f, good to firm; 8-1) in August 2024; could strip fitter for recent Newcastle run (1m; last of six) which came after 166 days off; easing mark, plus the presence of a 7lb claimer, means she merits a market check.

Bought for 48,000gns at the breeze-ups in April; made a promising start when third of 11 at Windsor (6f, good) last month and he wasn't disgraced when in midfield in Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot (5f Listed) ten days ago; this step back in trip looks a positive and he sets the standard back in much calmer waters.
