Won at Haydock (6f, good) last month on second run and again had something to spare in Yarmouth novice (6f, good to soft) next time; today is a much tougher test of his credentials but this 800,000gns brother to C&D Group 2 winner Celandine may well be up to the task; yard won this in 2021 and 2022.
