bet365 EBF Conditions Stakes (GBB Race)

Useful 2yo but his limitations were seemingly exposed in 7f Group races on his final three outings; bang there on form but suspicion at least the odd one will improve past him.

Winner of novices at Newbury (6.5f, good to firm) and Sandown (7f, good) on first two starts; beaten 7l when stepped up to 1m for the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (soft) in the autumn but still posted an improved RPR and it's likely he can do better again in 2025; big player back at 7f.

Being headstrong didn't prevent him progressing in his 2yo season, culminating with a 7f Doncaster nursery success on soft ground in October; while it's dangerous to discount anything from this stable, he'll require a big career best to follow up on reappearance.

From quite a useful family and justified short-priced favouritism on his 7f Southwell debut four weeks ago; will need to leave that bare form well behind but he's evidently quite well regarded.

Impressive in newcomers' race on the July Course here (7f, good) last summer, making all by 5l; pulled too hard when last of five in the Group 2 Champagne at Doncaster (7f, good again) five weeks later but returns as a colt with potential; entered in the 2,000 Guineas.
