Hinted at promise on last month's debut at Newbury (1m3f, good) and won easily at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; from a classy family and should continue to progress; leading claims under 6lb penalty.

J: Callum Hutchinson

Won three-runner Salisbury maiden (1m4f, good to firm) in June, on third start, but was safely held in both subsequent handicaps (1m6f/2m); needs new cheekpieces to generate some improvement.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Improved with each 1m4f run when qualifying, beating two rivals at Salisbury in the third of them; unable to make an impact in a warm race at Sandown (1m6f) on handicap debut in July, and now he's bumped into another Prescott improver, but he still has potential up in trip on AW debut.

J: William Buick

Three runs in 1m4f maiden/novice company this summer, improving his RPR with each start; latest three-runner affair not the easiest to assess but he's likely to stay this longer trip and there should be more in the tank.

Form & Verdict
110,000gns yearling; sixth foal; brother to top stayer Coltrane and half-brother to winners Warda Jamila (1m/1m2f; 93) and Zonisty (bumper); dam unraced sister to a smart 2m-2m4f hurdle winner; in top hands and the market should be instructive.

Cheekpieces fitted for both runs; appeared to find 1m too sharp when fifth of eight at Southwell (AW) and then finished well behind in a classy 1m2f novice at Newbury; clearly vulnerable to anything with proper potential.

Looked less than straightforward but ultimately responded well to change of headgear when winning at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) most recently, taking record to 3-16; enters calculations in the retained blinkers.

Ideally suited by good or slower ground and he's very effective on heavy; won at Doncaster in March (1m2f) and had a near miss at Goodwood in June but his form nosedived at Epsom 11 days ago; has bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back in new headgear.
