90,000gns half-brother to Group-placed 7f 2yo winner Ornellaia; 14-1 for his Yarmouth debut (6f, good) two weeks ago but he was always prominent and made a bold bid before finishing third of 11 behind a Godolphin hotpot; sets a fair standard on that promising effort and he's the one to beat.

Couldn't quite seal the deal having led over 1f out at Wolverhampton last week (8.6f); decent claims on that, though not sure it was solely the draw which contributed to a moderate effort on Nottingham's turf before that (RPR of 45 in his division versus Glitter Code's 62 in his).

Gelded after final 2yo start and well-backed second favourite for handicap debut at Southwell (7f, AW) on return, hanging over 1f out but doing his best work at the finish in a close third; 1m looks sure to suit and another step forward is likely if he proves effective on turf.
