Late foal; runner-up at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) on second start and good fifth of 14 at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) on latest; not guaranteed to be suited by this extra 1f and he's one of four declarations from his yard; brings the best form in this field but better may well be needed; Group 2 Mill Reef entry.
