Won from the front in two Kempton novices (1m, AW) as 2yo; beat just one rival in the course of three starts since, still showing useful form on reappearance (last of four in a 1m conditions stakes) but eased right down once pursuit was in vain at Epsom (1m2f, soft) two weeks ago on handicap debut; plenty to prove but at least stamina in the family suggests he should stay.

Won from the front in two Kempton novices (1m, AW); weakened out of it in a Group 3 at Newmarket (1m2f) on final 2yo run and mastered by his three rivals late on in a conditions stakes at Goodwood (1m, good; unraced on softer) on reappearance, so he does not present the most glittering case for this handicap debut, but stamina in family suggests he should stay.

Looked on the up when making all in a pair of 1m Kempton novices in the autumn but he failed to get home when beating only one in Zetland Stakes at Newmarket (1m2f) on final 2yo run; since gelded and it would come as no surprise to see this son of Oasis Dream bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Won by 6l on last month's Beverley debut (7f, good to firm), but found it all too much when last of six in the Group 3 Solario at Sandown (7f, soft) 17 days later; closely related to a dual Polytrack winner (including here) and back down in grade, but he may be vulnerable under his penalty.

Yet to build on wide-margin Beverley debut success (7.5f, good to firm) last August; gelded ahead of his reappearance sixth in a warm conditions race at Kempton (1m) in March; absent again since; the return to 7f could suit this often free-goer but King's Cavalry is the more obvious of the yard's pair.

Impressive on debut at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) in August; last of six in Group 3 at Sandown (7f, soft) next time before second in a novice at Kempton (1m, AW), drawing clear with a very promising Allegresse who runs in a Group 3 at Newmarket today (1:50); he's a highly likeable prospect himself for his in-form yard and respected in his first nursery.

Emphatically got off the mark at Newcastle (7f) on his return but he went too freely when only seventh (6-5 favourite) in 1m handicap there later in March; he's worth another chance dropped back in trip.
