Improved to get off the mark on his third start in a Bath maiden (5.7f, good to firm) in August, but failed to beat a rival on nursery debut at Sandown (5f, good) later in month; tongue-tie will need to make a difference.

He has improved with each of three starts, off the mark at Bath 13 days ago (5.5f, good to firm) when his rider didn't have to get too serious; moves into nurseries with the potential for better and Rossa Ryan's booking is a plus for the yard (30 rides in 2024, with five wins and six seconds).

16,000euros yearling; Dandy Man filly; dam, 7f AW 2yo winner (RPR 62), is a half-sister to winners Melo Melo (French 12.5f Group 2) and Treasuring (Group 3/US Grade 3); in good hands so she's a considered debutante.

Trainer operates at a 4% strike-rate with 2yos over the past five seasons but he's 12-79 with them here all told and this half-brother to four winners will have learned from his recent AW debut; did finish some way off the front four though.
