Half-brother to Kingman and he made a bright start with his emphatic win at Newmarket (1m, good) in June 2020; well-held fourth when odds-on again in another Newmarket novice 13 days later but he recorded an RPR of 85 and was surrounded by subsequent winners; returns from a lengthy absence but he still has plenty of potential for top yard and is strongly respected on this drop to 7f.

Disappointing favourite in major handicap when bidding for a hat-trick last autumn; ran creditably (about a neck behind Alcohol Free) in Sandown Group 2 on reappearance and may still have more progress in him, being lightly raced and well bred; however, has a lot to find in this field.

Half-brother to a useful 7f winner and he justified support with something in hand at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) three weeks ago; this is tougher under a penalty but he knuckled down well to beat his main market rivals on that debut run and looks a good prospect for his powerful yard; key player.
