Form & Verdict
Carries a 5lb penalty against some interesting opponents but he justified favouritism on last month's debut at Newbury (6.5f, good to firm), despite early interference, and this 525,000gns breeze-up purchase is a highly likeable prospect for his leading connections; strong claims.

In top hands and returned to form with fair fifth of eight in first-time blinkers over C&D (soft) recently on second nursery start; however, he needs to raise his game if he's to get off the mark today; a first-time visor replaces the blinkers (has now worn new headgear on each of last three runs).

1-6 for a Chelmsford maiden (1m2f, AW) on reappearance but had to work to land the odds; last summer's form on turf (three seconds) was better but his return to good ground for handicap debut at Doncaster (1m2f) on latest start proved disappointing, leading until over 1f out; a revival is needed but he should stay if he settles.
