Form & Verdict
Brother to 5f-6f winner Stone Of Destiny (RPR 109); only fifth of six on Wetherby debut (5.5f) last month, but he found stacks of improvement when going close over C&D (good to firm) three weeks later; sets a useful standard on that form and he's a strong contender.

Nothing wrong with his C&D handicap second in March and his subsequent third here at a short price is best overlooked; open to a bit of improvement still and is one of those best placed to take advantage should Rockafeller Skank not fire.
