Late foal; made his debut only five weeks ago, when taking a novice at Hamilton (1m3f, heavy) in clearcut style from the evens favourite who won a big handicap next time out; highly promising again to follow up in novice at Salisbury (1m2f, good to soft) two weeks ago, when hanging right didn't help but he made all and strode 6l clear from over 1f out; this is a big step up in class but a bold show would not surprise.

Late foal; 8-11 when wide-margin winner of a maiden at Nottingham (1m, heavy) last October; weak 13-2 for a conditions event at Kempton (1m, AW) in April and was put in his place in second, but that was by Notable Speech, who won the 2,000 Guineas next time, and a smart sort was third; absent since (gelded in June) but this longer trip will suit and he's the pick on form; Group 2 entry this month.

Wide-margin winner of a 1m Nottingham maiden (heavy) on debut last October and useful effort when chasing home Notable Speech in a 1m Kempton conditions event six months later; turned over at odds on in a 1m2f Salisbury novice (good to soft) four weeks ago back from another break but it was no bad effort and he remains a good prospect; very interesting handicap newcomer.
