Half-brother to seven winners; took a keen hold when a well-held sixth of eight on his Leicester debut (7f, good to firm; 12-1) in June; blinkers given a go on this return from three months off and he needs to step up.

First attempt at 5f for this British challenger, having won 7f Leicester maiden and most recently much improved when beaten a neck (demoted to third after hanging left late on) in 6f Group 3 Sirenia Stakes on Kempton AW last month; good draw and contender if having the early pace to exploit it.

Half-brother to two stablemates who have a combined record of 8-9 on AW; duly gained his maiden success in this sphere; rather disappointing on final 2yo start (handicap debut; gelded since) but may still have more to offer; not written off.

Well held in all four runs but he made some late headway after stumbling on his nursery debut at Kempton (1m, Polytrack; 9-2) last August; returns after a lengthy absence but he has some stamina in his good pedigree and needs watching in market at this new trip.

Daughter of a Polytrack winner who fared better on her nursery debut, upped to 1m and switched to the AW, one month ago; was merely best of the rest behind an easy winner, though, and the drop back in trip/return to turf may not be optimal.
