Has shown plenty of ability in 3 starts so far, racing freely on return but beaten only a length when sixth of 10 in novice at Newbury 6 weeks ago, form which has been boosted since. Could benefit from application of hood and he remains with potential.

Built on debut promise when runner-up to the odds-on favourite in a Newmarket maiden in October. After 7 months off, wasn't quite able to match that form when fourth of 11 at Newbury 2 weeks ago, but he can step forward from that run with tongue strap added.

Past Winners

Analyst's Verdict

This can go the way of ALFARAZ, who shaped encouragingly when runner-up both starts at 2 yrs before doing well to last as long as he did at Newbury on reappearance. Fitted with a hood, he is taken to get the better of another pair of promising types, with Echo of Stars preferred for second over El Nay.

Betting Forecast : 7/42.75 Alfaraz, 3/14 Echo Of Stars, 4/15 El Nay, 7/18 Blue Hercules, 11/112 Kinetic Impact, 40/141 Madame Dragon, 66/167 Prophet Squeeze, 100/1101 Strong Man Tom
