Won novice contests at Kempton (7f, AW) last autumn on first two starts; reappeared with encouraging third on handicap debut on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) last month and this very lightly raced 3yo could have lots more to offer for his top yard; wears first-time cheekpieces.

Reappeared at 1-4 with a ready novice win; 2-1 favourite when good fourth of 14 for the rearranged Silver Bowl at Carlisle (also 1m on good to firm) three weeks ago on handicap debut, making inroads too late but that experience of a hot handicap at right-handed track could stand him in good stead and, in accordance with the dam's side, 1m2f now looks well worth exploring.

Runner-up last October on both 2yo starts (7f, AW/good), on the second occasion in a novice at Newmarket that has worked out very well; reappeared with a ready win at 1-4 in Wetherby novice (1m, good to firm) and there's every chance that this unexposed colt will be better than today's opening mark.

Made a promising debut over C&D last month and confirmed that by readily accounting for six rivals at Southwell three weeks ago (1m; third-placed Urgent Call runs in the 4.40); can win more races but it won't be easy trying to concede 7lb to some well-bred newcomers.

Promising fourth at Kempton (7f, AW) on sole 2yo start and, while he's been well beaten in novices here (1m2f, good) and at Kempton (1m3f, AW) on both runs this year, he's been behind classy winners; has far more realistic claims on this handicap debut; interesting, especially if backed.
