Well-beaten third of four on debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in August and eighth of ten at Haydock (7f, good) since; improvement needed.

Beaten about 5l on both starts, most recently when keeping on for third of 11 at Thirsk (1m, good); has an each-way shout but the return to 7f isn't an obvious positive.

Dam 7f AW 2yo winner; 16-1 when eighth of ten, beaten about 6l, on last month's debut at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta); that gives him something to build on but a sizeable step forward is needed today.

Has an attractive pedigree and he left his Kempton debut (7f, Polytrack) behind to go close in a first-time hood (retained) at Brighton (7f, soft) last month; clear of the third last time and he's a key player.

22,000gns yearling; first foal; dam twice-raced (RPR 72) sister to French 6f winner Ave Maria, half-sister to 12.3f winner Denim And Diamonds, out of 1m Listed winner; stable is having an excellent year with 2yos and it will be no surprise if this Shaman newcomer gives a good account; watch the market.
