Son of Mayson cost 60,000GBP at the breeze-ups and (having run in a barrier trial) made winning debut in 6f Naas maiden last September, green enough but strong at the finish on yielding-to-soft; belated seasonal return (having been gelded) with ground coming in his favour and blinkers fitted; market should be interesting.
