Form & Verdict
RPRs in the 80s when going close over 1m at Salisbury (good to firm/soft) in the last two of his three 2yos runs; held in fifth of 12 at Newbury (1m2f, good) in May but that was a respectable effort and he shaped as if he needed the run after 225 days off; gelded since and he sets a clear standard here on his peak efforts; big player.

0-9 in handicaps; best form when second in the closing 1m2f race on this card last year; some respectable shows over 1m4f too, including with first-time blinkers (kept since) on penultimate start; last of ten back at Ascot last Saturday, admittedly in a Shergar Cup race and not beaten far but others have more pressing claims.

Form & Verdict
By Golden Horn and first foal of an unraced half-sister to 1m4f Group 1 winner Behkabad; promising third on Lingfield debut (1m2f, AW) last November and he ran into some useful prospects when a fair sixth at Newbury (1m2f, good) on return in May; needs to step up again but it's still early days and he should have more to offer for William Haggas; has been gelded.
