4yo who is out of a half-sister to Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf/French 1,000 Guineas winner Flotilla; 5-4 joint-favourite on belated debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) last month and he led 1f out before keeping on well for a comfortable success; that was a bright start and he's respected under penalty.

Too green to do himself justice at Kempton on last month's debut; improved effort when making up some good late ground to chase home Livonian at Windsor 18 days ago (1m, good); open to further progress and 7lb better off with his old rival here; not discounted.

Won once in four for Ralph Beckett, easily at short odds at Windsor (1m, novice; good) last September; underwhelming thereafter at Newcastle (1m) and Ripon (1m2f), and moved on for a knockdown 14,000gns; low mileage but best watched on stable debut (second run in a handicap).

Disappointing favourite in Newcastle novice (1m, AW) last time and needs to settle better now up in trip on handicap debut; however, he looked promising when easily winning Windsor novice (1m, good) earlier last month and retains considerable potential for his top yard.
