Sporting Times Restricted Maiden Stakes (For horses In Bands B, C And D) (GBB Race)

Down the field in a Hereford bumper on debut in December and was beaten miles when last of nine at Catterick (1m7f, soft) the following month; still early days but he has a lot to prove now switched to the Flat.

Poor hurdles form and he struggled at massive prices in two Flat runs (1m) last month.

Never-dangerous fourth in two runs this winter but he caught the eye with his late headway here (1m3f) in January and that was behind a useful rival; looks open to more progress on this step back up in trip and he's respected for in-form yard.

Son of Cracksman out of a sister to a 1m4f Grade 1 winner; didn't live up to market expectations on debut here (1m) in December and he refused to enter the stalls at Lingfield later that month; has been gelded since but he now takes a big step up in trip and it wouldn't be a surprise if he left his initial form well behind.

Has useful pedigree but he recorded RPRs in the 50s when well held in two runs here (1m/1m3f) late last year; still early days but he needs a transformation after a break.
