Much improved gelding who won recent handicaps at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) and Brighton (1m, good to firm) with quite a bit left in the tank; has a 12lb penalty to shoulder but still commands respect.

In cheekpieces the last twice; pushed the long odds-on favourite close on his handicap debut (1m2f, good to firm) and then won as he liked at Wolverhampton on Tuesday (8.6f); looks well in with the penalty and this 295,000gns yearling could easily rate much higher.

J: Mr Henry Callan

T: George Boughey

Made a long odds-on favourite work for it, despite having raced freely in a small field, on his handicap debut (1m2f; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago; this 295,000gns yearling remains open to improvement and is high on the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Promise in novice/maiden company but he has finished out of the places in both handicaps (5-4f for nursery debut); cheekpiece experiment quickly aborted; up to 1m2f for the first time with a point to prove.

Neck ahead of Fille Imbassee on identical terms when third over C&D last month (good to firm); appeal undiminished by Ffos Las blowout since, when not taking to soft ground; 2lb badly in.

0-7; second in 9.4f AW maiden in April and third of five in handicap at Leicester (upped to 1m2f, good to firm) latest; tried cheekpieces on penultimate start; this could be a weak race but he may still prove vulnerable.

Still finding her level on turf, but only a neck behind Zooter when fourth in a C&D 0-70 latest (good to firm), the new trip no issue; bit more needed despite slight ease in grade; trainer took this last year.

He has improved for the addition of cheekpieces but not sure there is much mileage in his mark and that isn't the case with a few of his rivals.

Broadly consistent in handicaps, mostly on AW, until below par returned to turf last time when too free over 1m2f; return to 1m looks a good move but he's still seeking first turf win.
