Made the frame in three of his four starts on turf (5f/6f) for David Menuisier as a 2yo; changed hands for 9,000gns in October and makes his stable/handicap debut after seven months off having been gelded in the meantime; half-brother to a couple of AW winners and the market should be informative.

Modest form at Brighton (5.2f, good) and Wolverhampton (6f, AW; better effort); needs to build on that but has place claims at least.

Improver since cheekpieces went on and possible he found firm ground against him upped in class last time; also possible he's reached his ceiling mark now and he'll need more from the lowest stall.

Successful over C&D (good; switched back to turf from AW) last time, taking record since wearing cheekpieces to 21341 and form figures in this sphere to 441; upped in class but receives weight all round; respected with further progress plausible.

Ended his 2yo campaign with a 5f win at Chelmsford in December; two solid efforts this year, more recently when fourth at Lingfield nine days ago (tight for room close home); promise on turf last year; still open to further progress.

By Expert Eye; fourth foal; half-brother to winners Major Blue (5f turf/6f AW; RPR 76) and Blue Cable (6f AW; 62); dam unplaced at 5f/6f on AW as 2yo (37), closely related to 5f Listed winner Speed Cop, out of disqualified Nunthorpe winner Blue Siren; from a strong yard and needs a check for market strength, in what's surely not a strong race.

First foal from a Listed-placed 5f-7f winner; similar form when beaten just over 4l at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) and Lingfield (5f, AW) 12 days later; absent eight weeks this time and could be a player for a yard that's in good form, including with its 2yos.

Unexposed filly who made all when landing a Catterick maiden (5f, soft; 7-2) last October; that was a very narrow success but she looks on a fair opening mark and should have more to offer as a 3yo; respected on handicap/seasonal debut
