Promising 2yo for the now-retired Sir Michael Stoute last season; didn't enjoy a clear run when second in Nottingham novice (1m, good) on his stable and seasonal debut, and easily won Leicester maiden (1m, good to firm) next time; with a top Newmarket trainer and has potential off his opening mark.

Kept on well to win at Doncaster (7f, good) in March and denied clear run when close third at Newmarket (7f, good) next time; shaped each time as though 1m would suit and he was a respectable sixth of 14 in a higher grade than this over C&D (good to firm) last month; perhaps unsuited by Epsom and/or good to soft ground when below par last time and he's not discounted.
