Won fast-ground novice races at Beverley (7.4f) and Goodwood (1m) last summer on his first two starts; he's better than he showed when 14l seventh of eight in the Group 2 Royal Lodge here in September (1m, good to firm; 16-1) and has Dante/Derby entries but others have more pressing claims.

J: David Egan

T: Charlie Johnston

1,100,000gns Frankel colt; has been more workmanlike than flashy in winning his novices at Beverley and Goodwood (1m; both on good to firm) but there's no knocking an unbeaten start and he might be the type who only does enough in his races (reportedly a lazy worker at home); has to improve at this level but that's very feasible.

Runner-up on both 2yo starts (1m/8.5f) and not beaten far when sixth of ten in what has predictably turned out to be a strong Newbury novice (1m2f, good) last month, despite racing too freely in the lead; will be hard to beat if first-time hood helps him to relax here.

Dante and Derby entry; 300,000gns yearling by Nathaniel; second as 2yo in small fields for a novice event at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) and conditions stakes at Epsom (8.5f, good); had no answers in the latter to a subsequent Listed winner but stuck to his task well and 1m2f+ will suit.

Form & Verdict
Kingman colt out of a Listed-placed 1m2f winner (RPR 106); weak 15-2, made a slow start but prominent long way when about 3l fourth of nine in newcomers race at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago; has a big shout on that form and looks set to improve.

Beat one who is now on a mark of 95 off level weights at Southwell in October (7f); blotted his copybook by playing up before breaking out of the stalls on intended return/handicap debut in 1m contest at Ascot this month (11-2 at the time of withdrawal); cheekpieces replace blinkers; has the talent to play a major role.
