William Hill Two Year Old Trophy (Listed Race)

Seemed to excel himself at 80-1 when fifth in last month's Group 2 Flying Childers at Doncaster (5f, good); there's a chance he was flattered and today's longer trip could stretch his stamina, but on the figures he has a better chance than many.

Has won four of his nine races, taking another step forward when beating eight rivals in nursery at Ayr (6f, soft) two weeks ago; may not have reached his ceiling just yet and he's capable of another big run.

Represents last year's winning stable but was beaten fair and square by Ardisia in Ayr nursery last month and now meets that rival on 10lb worse terms; hard to see him turning the tables.

Assembling an impressive CV and he followed a win in a valuable sales race at York's Ebor meeting (6f, good to firm) with a fine second in a similar event at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft; made most); open to further improvement and high on the list.

Surged clear over 1f out and just held on when making successful start in maiden at Newcastle (6f, AW; 85-40 favourite) two weeks ago; market support suggests that win was not unexpected and although she lacks experience for a race of this nature, she could be anything.
