Came home eighth, beaten 11l, last month at Vaal in a juvenile plate; should not be far away as has a pedigree which suggests there is more to come and has shown some ability on occasion.

Improved showing over 7f at Vaal (juvenile plate) when in front of three of these last month; seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice and career moving upwards.

Verdict

A wide-open affair but it's hard to get away from FIELD OF DREAMS. Highway Code is one to consider, and Big John Mac is taken to mount a serious challenge.
