Five-race maiden but he's finished runner-up twice including in a C&D handicap (5-1) two weeks ago; looks interesting off only 1lb higher and he still has potential as a handicapper.

Placed once in four starts and that was when a well-held second of three in a Newcastle novice (1m, Tapeta) in October; surprising if he isn't capable of better, though, given his pedigree and 240,000gns price tag.

All three starts over 1m, showing promise on the first of two turf runs; no match for a smart prospect when second of three on Newcastle's Tapeta when last seen in October but showed enough to confirm he possesses a fairly useful level of ability; has obvious unexposed potential now handicapping on his return (has been gelded).

J: Jason Hart

T: Roger Varian

240,000gns yearling; second foal from a 1m2f Listed winner; looked quite promising when keeping-on fifth on debut at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in May but returned with a disappointing effort last month; hooded for this AW debut; not an easy one to predict.

Fared best of the newcomers when fifth of 12 at 12-1 on debut at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in May; the dam of this 240,000gns yearling was a 1m2f Listed winner for the yard and he could be a nice prospect; upset in stalls and withdrawn at Haydock later in May (8-1 at the time); possible player.
