Won Salisbury novice on only outing last season; open to plenty of improvement

Outsider of three when making winning debut in Leicester mud by 50l; hard to evaluate

Bred to make a useful middle-distance stayer at least and much respected on debut

Took major step forward from debut when making all at Pontefract; leading contender

Closely related to two useful winners; gelded/blinkered, may be yard's second string
7 (7)	Sutue Alshams Bay J:Andrew Mullen T:Iain Jardine	J:Andrew Mullen T:Iain Jardine	130	—	62-	-	86	53	208d	—	—	+1	6.6	3.75/1	16 6%
Improved from first to second run last year; open to further progress

No real encouragement to be gleaned from sixth at Southwell; needs great leap forward
