All this season's form has been pretty useful, in strong 1m2f handicaps at Newbury (good to firm) and York (good) last two outings; cheekpieces go on; the one to beat if they don't have an adverse effect.

Fetched 360,000gns as a yearling (brother to the useful 1m4f winner King Of Conquest); justified market support, scoring comfortably at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm; second start) recently, and looks the type to carry on progressing; shoulders a 7lb penalty for that success.
