Form & Verdict

Took on useful prospects, showing promise, in three 2yo turf runs at about 7f for Ralph Beckett, including the Listed Chesham at Royal Ascot; gelded since last seen in August; type to do better as a 3yo and sights lowered on yard debut.

Form & Verdict

Big prices and never left the rear division in two novice events on turf and Newcastle AW as 2yo; gelded since but can only watch; yard also runs Baggie Boy.
