Lightly raced 4yo who ties in with Great Acclaim on a stable/seasonal debut effort at Haydock that took his form figures over 7f to 1135; may resume progress with that outing under his belt; one to consider, especially if the market signals speak positively.

Gelded 750,000gns yearling who's a half-brother to five winners, notably Al Suhail (Group 2) and Telecaster (Group 2); never involved after a slow start here (6f) three weeks ago but he made some late headway to finish sixth of 12; should know much more this time and he's a likely improver upped in trip; hood worn on debut is removed.
