Came from off the pace to make a winning debut over C&D on soft last August before going down narrowly under a penalty at Newbury (good to soft); the winner of that race was 125-1 and has become disappointing, but this colt retains potential.

A promising, scopey sort from a famous middle-distance family; progressive form in maidens, without a win, prior to his huge run at 100-1 in the Derby at Epsom (1m4f, soft) nearly five weeks ago when he came from towards rear to finish about 7l fifth of 14; kept on well at the finish, as if this longer trip will suit; faces very different ground today (he's unraced on firmer than good) but he's a big player if that is not a problem.
