Showed promise when fourth of 13 on his Leicester debut (1m2f, good to soft) in March (form worked out well), but was beaten 7l into third of seven at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack; evens) last month; major chance on debut form.

AW maiden winner and has added two turf handicaps at about 1m4f; less convincing of late and raced keenly when behind Siempre Arturo at Kempton last time.

Campaigned on turf this term, winning twice in the spring but less convincing since; gained his maiden success (easily) on AW last year and remains unexposed in this sphere.

Eight races; made the running for all three of his wins, including in handicaps over about this trip on good to firm on first two starts this season, finding plenty to end well on top; couldn't get to the front at Epsom next time and tailed off, with rain-softened ground apparently to blame; no excuse with the ground at Windsor (led over 6f out) on latest start, however, and cheekpieces are now enlisted.

Form & Verdict
Sent off 125-1 for his Kempton debut (7f, Polytrack) 13 days ago, but caught the eye in staying on into fifth of ten; steps up 5f in trip but this distance is much more in line with his pedigree.

Made it third-time lucky when landing a C&D novice in November and he went very close on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m4f) in January; now takes a big drop back in trip but he's travelled smoothly in his last two runs and is only 1lb higher than last time; respected.

Half-brother to winners Mums Hope (7f AW 2yo; RPR 80), Autumn Leaves (7f 2yo/1m2f; 79), Gelida Manina (Italian 5f including 2yo), Evora Monte (Italian 5f) and Silks Pass (Qatari 5.5f/6f); dam unraced; would be a rare winning newcomer from the yard, but worth a market check.

Dual winner for Ian Williams; sold for 20,000gns last October; third to Poet's Dawn over C&D (stable debut) early last month and runner-up to a progressive rival over 1m here subsequently; highly likely to make presence felt.

Successful over 1m2f at Newbury (good to firm) off this mark for Ian Williams last summer; creditable start for new yard after nine months off (had wind surgery) when third of five over 1m2f here (good) 12 days ago; entitled to build on that but 9.4f at Wolverhampton is the shortest trip he's tackled prior to this.
