Sent off favourite when winning by a neck on debut at Catterick (7f, soft) last Wednesday; faces much tougher opposition today but this 130,000euros half-brother to the stable's Group 3 winner Marshman is a likeable prospect who could have lots more to offer; possible contender.

Has given superb value since the autumn, winning five 6f handicaps on the AW between October and January; even better in turf sprints since, landing a 6f handicap on the Rowley course here (good to firm) and finishing strongly to take second on his side to a handicap blot in the big 5f race at Royal Ascot; rock solid to go well back at 6f.

Revealed little in his qualifying runs over much shorter trips but he lost out only near the line on handicap debut over 1m4f at Ripon before overpowering his rivals in a classified event at Pontefract (1m4f, good to firm) last week; goes unpenalised and is due a 5lb rise in future; now having first run on sand but dam has bred two AW winners; good claims.
