Useful pedigree; ran green but clear evidence of ability on Newmarket debut which was more than confirmed when getting the upper hand late on Wolverhampton AW (7f) from a subsequent winner; should be a nice prospect for handicaps; yard in form.

Similar form throughout his five-race 2yo career, on the premises every time except at Royal Ascot; tried cheekpieces on final start and ran in 1m nurseries on last two, so he's comparatively exposed; left Eve Johnson Houghton for 41,000gns in September and has been gelded.
