Form & Verdict
Improved on each of three runs in Britain for Olly Murphy before bought for 40,000gns at Tattersalls Horses-In-Training Sale and better again on yard debut in C&D nursery a fortnight ago, nicely clear of the rest when beaten a neck by an improver; probably needs to improve again to play a major role but quite likely.
