Nicely bred; runner-up over C&D when last seen; should make his mark in handicaps

Placed twice over C&D then won on AW; ties in with Byblos; solid contender
6 (8)	Yabher Bay J:Tom Marquand T:William Haggas	J:Tom Marquand T:William Haggas	133	—	15-	82	90	89	181d	—	—	+4	19.4	1.13/1	9/2 18%
May yet confirm the promise of his Doncaster win; remains of interest
