Hasn't been overly strong in the finish in either of his races (6f/7f), but wasn't far behind respected opposition last time at Kempton and that form is right up there in this company.

Form & Verdict

Well held on his debut here (1m) in May, but has shown ability on turf since then as when a close third of five on nursery debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last time (fourth has won since); shaped as though an extra furlong would suit; respected.

Trainer's strike-rate with 2yos is down this season and this one didn't improve last time on his Salisbury third; the step back up to 7f should suit, however.

Bids for a hat-trick after beating the same filly in nurseries at Catterick and Thirsk (both 7f, good to firm); extra furlong not a problem on pedigree now switched to the AW, but another 7lb rise does pose a question.

Form & Verdict

Well-bred colt who was out of his depth in the Chesham but has shown plenty of promise in both starts either side, as when third of 13 in a Salisbury novice (7f, good) last month; half-brother to an AW winner and shouldn't have a problem with the extra furlong on breeding; high on list on nursery debut.

Never figured over 5f at Ascot then proved suited by the longer distance at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) where he finished fourth, albeit running to an ordinary RPR; needs to show further progress.
