Form & Verdict

First foal from a well-connected Hungarian winner; started slowly and was unable to land a telling blow on debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago, but kept on fairly well to finish in midfield; this race looks easier; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict

Out of a useful 6f 2yo winner; his second run (7f) was much more encouraging than his debut (6f) but he needs to take another good step forward.
