Form & Verdict
Gelded son of Space Blues who cost 80,000gns as a yearling and is a half-brother to French 1m Flat (including 2yo) and 2m1f hurdle winner Familiar; dam 1m2f winner (RPR 81); in good hands but the betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations.

Well down the field after racing too freely on turf last month but was in good form beforehand, most notably when close second at Southwell (1m3f; first-time cheekpieces) two runs ago; in the mix if back on song.

Third in his first two handicaps, including at Nottingham (1m2f, good; visored) in his only turf race; better form when beaten a neck at Southwell (1m3f, AW; cheekpieces) latest outing, which he'll need to build on.

Twice third in handicap company at bit shorter than this, with the fitting of a visor not really helping at Nottingham three weeks ago (took good hold); less-severe headgear is reached for here; possibilities if settling better.

Form & Verdict
Prominent for a long way when about 3l fourth of nine in newcomers race at Newmarket (7f) in August; hung repeatedly right under pressure when a disappointing favourite at Goodwood (1m) later that month; the fact he was subsequently gelded and now sports blinkers suggests connections think there was more to the waywardness that simply failing to handle the track; will need to get back to the debut form if he's to trouble We're Goosers.

Beat one who is now on a mark of 95 off level weights at Southwell in October (7f); blotted his copybook by playing up before breaking out of the stalls on intended return/handicap debut in 1m contest at Ascot this month (11-2 at the time of withdrawal); cheekpieces replace blinkers; has the talent to play a major role.

Ended 2025 with an AW win over 7f (made most); thoroughly encouraging reappearance here (1m, good) in April on handicap debut, where he looked likely to reward market support but the race slipped from his grasp late on; major chance off the same mark back at 7f.

Solid record over 7f last autumn comprised a couple of second-places, including at Newmarket, then odds-on success at Newcastle (AW); may well progress further and do well in handicaps; warrants respect.

Yet to progress from her debut effort and she weakened into a 6l fourth at Kempton on March's handicap debut (7f; sent off 7-2); can do better and it will be interesting to see if her backers return.

Her first three starts were over 7f last autumn (including C&D) and improvement is needed on this handicap debut; however, she's bred to be better than this opening mark; interesting, especially if strong in the betting.
