Form & Verdict

Got up close home on debut at Yarmouth (7f, good) last month and comfortably made it 2-2 in Wolverhampton novice (7f, AW); he's a half-brother to French Group 3 winner Devant (on very soft) and it remains to be seen where his limitations lie; in top hands and has plenty of potential.

Looked progressive when winning Ripon maiden (6f, good) last month; however, he was a soundly beaten fifth of six on nursery debut at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last time and needs a much bigger performance today.

Slowly away on all three starts but has improved each time and won at Ripon (6f, good) latest, when clear with one who won at Beverley on Wednesday; could continue to progress and he's not discounted on his nursery debut.

Badly needed his debut experience (C&D) and did better here last Monday; room for improvement at the stalls still but the return to 6f should suit and there's likely further improvement in him, so he's shortlisted in a weak maiden.
