1-9 tally and his peak efforts have been on AW over 1m; there's plenty of hope for this trip in his pedigree but he raced freely and underperformed when trying it in small field at Newmarket last month.

Record is just 1-8 but he's consistent; gelded prior to creditable second at Kempton (1m, AW) on seasonal debut; likely to stay this new trip if taking after his dam; however, looks the most exposed contender.

Form & Verdict
450,000gns Frankel yearling; seemingly well below market expectations on first two starts, inclined to pull hard and hang right at Newmarket on second occasion; favourite nevertheless for novice at Lingfield (1m, AW) in November and he helped set the pace before keeping on to win by a head; gelded since; pedigree suggests he will stay; could still prove capable of better.

Form & Verdict
Three AW runs in the winter, making all in Wolverhampton maiden (9.4f) on third occasion; carries his head rather high but second of six on turf/handicap debut at Doncaster (1m2f, good) six weeks ago was improved form and he should not be far away.

Cost a fraction of some of these at the sales but won a maiden at Bath (1m, good) on debut and improved when third of five in a conditions stakes at Epsom (8.5f, heavy) two weeks later; even so, he needs another healthy step forward, including as the Epsom winner was Too Soon.
