Came from off the pace to finish a clear second in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good) in July; on the strength of that he was 4-9 for 11-runner novice at Leicester (7f, soft) two months later, having to work hard but looking better the further he went and scoring in clearcut style; clear potential in those performances, including for this longer trip.

160,000gns foal, by Starspangledbanner from smart middle-distance family; 18-1 for maiden at Newmarket (7f, good) two months ago but came from off the pace to finish a clear second of 13 and the form has received multiple boosts; sets a good standard with that eyecatching effort.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner; fair form to be placed in three novice events, before galloping well clear when 4-9 in a six-runner maiden at Yarmouth (1m1f, good); hung badly left at Kempton on penultimate start; this extra 1f should help and he's not dismissed.

This colt's dam is a sister to Illinois and half-sister to Danedream; made a muted debut at Tipperary (1m1f, good) but transformed to win nine-runner maiden at Gowran Park (1m, good) later in September, making most and ending well on top; still green that day and there's plenty to like, even if Ryan Moore is on Shackleton.

17,000euros foal; Waldgeist half-brother to four winners including Dazzling Darren (1m2f-1m5f including AW; RPR 76); dam finished last both starts over 6f (19), sister to 6f Group 3 winner Heeraat; interesting newcomer for the Crisfords who don't run many 2yos here (0-4 in last five years) but their record with juveniles means a market check is a must.
