Third foal; half-brother to recent 8.6f AW maiden winner Penfolds Grande and a low-grade AW winner; dam unraced half-sister to useful 6f AW winner Dream Dubai; bought for 400,000euros at a breeze-up in spring 2023 and it will be interesting to see how he fares on this belated debut.

Both wins have come on the AW at Newcastle (1m/1m2f) and was far from disgraced on his return in the Easter Classic there (1m2f) five weeks ago; makes his turf debut in a competitive race, albeit stall 1 has taken three of the last eight runnings.

Two-time course winner who went close on his stable debut over C&D in November; things didn't go his way when fourth of 13 at Chelmsford (1m2f) ten days later; this very lightly raced 5yo goes well fresh and remains open to further improvement; could be a contender following a break.

Form & Verdict
Half-brother to an Australian 1m6f Listed winner; dam unplaced half-sister to a New Zealand 1m Group 1 winner; readily justified short-odds favouritism in four-runner C&D novice on debut two months ago; that race was slowly run and it's hard to gauge what the form is worth but, nevertheless, he's looks a good prospect.

Record of 0-8 since debut win but a quintet of second-place finishes (1m-1m2f, AW/turf) reflect broadly consistent form; seemingly outstayed over 1m4f at Leicester when last seen; useful in terms of ability and may yet double his tally.

Only 1-8 and slightly concerning that he's been runner-up five times, though it was bordering on career-best form last time at Doncaster (1m2f, soft; fine on good); should be in the thick of it.

Bar a blip on fast ground at York in June his profile is essentially progressive, including clear second to a next-time-out winner at Newbury (1m2f, good) in May; shaped much better than result when never-nearer sixth of ten at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last time, left with too much to do after meeting trouble early in the home straight; could still be on a good mark.

Well-bred gelding who shaped with significant promise in two 1m turf maidens for Godolphin in summer 2023 and returned from long absence with very respectable third of five in tactical C&D novice for new stable last month; remains a tricky one to weigh up but has possibilities here if aided by first-time cheekpieces.

All her racing has been done over longer trips, including up to 1m4f, but the drop to 6f at Kempton (AW) last time resulted in almost her closest finish; tailed off in her turf race, over 1m2f in June, and she still needs to improve significantly on that latest never-nearer fourth of ten.
