Green when fourth in the Brocklesby on debut and although he managed to win at Thirsk three weeks ago (5f, heavy), he was still inclined to wander around off the bridle; stable won this event 12 months ago and his proven ability on slow ground is a plus but the likelihood is he'll need a good step forward to follow up.
Smartly away and bagged the rail on his Chantilly debut four weeks ago (5f, heavy); lost his position at halfway but he surged to the front 1f out and went clear despite his evident inexperience off the bridle; while that form isn't the easiest to assess (field of newcomers and none of the principals have run since), it was a taking performance and he's of major interest.
Wandered around under pressure but he was well on top at the finish when making a winning debut at Southwell (AW) five weeks ago; that race hasn't thrown up any subsequent winners and it's likely he'll need a good step forward to follow up; dam was a mudlark, so slow ground shouldn't be an excuse.
Overcame a slow start and evident inexperience to win decisively at Chelmsford (AW) in March; different underfoot conditions to contend with but his yard has made a flying start with their 2yos and it's notable that he's the one selected for a race they won with subsequent Royal Ascot winner Chipotle in 2021.
February foal; 30,000gns foal, 100,000 yearling; first foal of a 6f AW winner, herself a half-sister to Group 3 winners Audience and Dark Lady; stable won this with a newcomer in 2018; betting instructive.
Got up late on debut at Wolverhampton (AW) three weeks ago, wandering under pressure but nicely on top at the finish; the second has won since and the fourth has also run well, so there is substance to the form; sire's progeny have made a fine start; should be in the shake-up.
