9st 2lb

J: Tom Marquand

T: William Haggas

Debut was on soft; all four of his races were tight finishes and he won the last three; pulled it out of the fire against useful rivals in a valuable novice event at Newbury (1m2f, good) and narrowly maintained an advantage over Bay Of Brilliance as the pair drew clear in a ding-dong battle for the Lingfield Derby Trial (11.6f, good to firm) four weeks ago; his pedigree is all about 1m4f, including with his sire and dam's sire both Derby winners, and he also shapes as if every yard today will suit; needs to pull out more again but has to be in each-way calculations.

9st 2lb

J: Tom Marquand

T: William Haggas

Went close on debut at Ascot (1m, soft) and beat notable rivals in a Newmarket maiden (1m, good) later in September; favourite for a valuable novice event at Newbury (1m2f, good) three weeks ago and battled his way to another narrow win, in a blanket finish but there's a good chance he will come on from that run and be suited by this longer trip (very much supported by pedigree); firmly in the mix.

Dante and Derby entry; went close on debut at Ascot (1m, soft) and one better in a Newmarket maiden (1m, good) later in September; battled back admirably in the latter, which is strong form; looks a good prospect for 1m2f and probably even more so for 1m4f.

350,000gns yearling whose pedigree suggests he'll really come into his own over further, but he went close at 11-2 on recent debut at Ascot (1m, soft) and is in excellent hands to progress; player.

Value rose from 200,000euros as a foal to 350,000gns as a yearling; third foal; half-brother to French 1m4f winner Namouria (RPR 98); dam Belgian 1m6f winner, half-sister to German 1m4f Group 1 winners Nymphea and Nutan; has to be of interest.
