Beaten long way in soft-ground event on debut; fared markedly better switched to this sphere at Southwell (1m3f) where he finished second behind a fellow Godolphin runner; respected with further progress plausible.

75,000gns yearling; Nathaniel half-brother to seven winners, notably Wicklow Brave (1m6f-2m1f Flat, RPR 115; high-class jumper); dam 1m4f scorer (68); connections also run Port Of London; market instructive.
