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.

0-8; did go very close on the AW (1m3f; new cheekpieces) in April but pretty much tailed off in his subsequent races and his freegoing tendencies remain evident.

65,000gns breeze-up buy who shaped with promise last season in 7f/1m races won by smart horses; absent since October but potentially interesting on this handicap debut now raised in distance; the market could be enlightening.

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 last October (7f); blotted his copybook by playing up before breaking out of the stalls on intended seasonal/handicap debut in 1m contest at Ascot last month; looked more relaxed at Kempton last week but he never got involved from a wide draw; still early days but he needs to raise his game back on turf.

Gelded since finishing last when favourite for the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m); had progressive 7f form previously and recorded a wide-margin success at Newmarket (good) the time before, taking record over this trip to 2211; may still have more to offer and remains of interest.

Yet to run a bad race as the sixth at Newmarket (1m, good) on handicap debut was a close one; back over 7f there and sent off the 4-11 favourite, he romped home by the thick end of 10l to earn today's 11lb higher mark; that rise asks serious questions, but he has the wind in his sails and Oisin Murphy would have had options for this.

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.

Made all at Hamilton (8.3f, good) on second stable start and followed up at Ripon (1m, good) with something to spare; there can be optimism that this easy 1m1f will be within range and that latest 5lb rise will not stop her.
