Cost just £3,000 as a yearling and has shown absolutely no ability in two starts so far. Drops notably in trip to 6F.
Rated 75, and has been placed in all four career starts since September 2016. Twice a runner up over C&D last term with cut, and he has wintered well and replicated that level of form in both starts this year on faster ground.
Rear division finishes in two starts as a juvenile over 6F at Redcar and Thirsk. Needs to improve markedly to be involved on his first outing as a three-year-old.
Never ran for Richard Fahey before joining this yard, for whom he raced once as a juvenile and again earlier this month at Doncaster. Dropped to this trip at the South Yorkshire venue and made little impression. Is a half-brother to both a 5F-6F winner and a 1m4f-2m winner. Dam won over 1m2f-1m3f and it may be that he develops over further with time.
Finished one place behind Harwood when seventh of eight to Desert Frost in a 6F maiden at Doncaster earlier this month. Likely to benefit for that outing, but others appear stronger even allowing for substantial improvement.
Placed in all three starts in 7F maidens at Redcar, Wolverhampton and Catterick. The winner of her opening maiden has went onto achieve much better things since, whilst she's probably just maintained a similar level of form. Stable going well and can't be ruled out now dropped in trip.
Nothing to take from either of her two starts and finished last of 14 latest at Thirsk over 1m. Drops in trip to 6F with low grade handicaps her likely future later in the season.

Romanticism (13/8), Benjamin Thomas (7/4), Castle Hill Cassie (9/2), Harwood (7/1), Jessinamillion (20/1), Equiano Springs (25/1), Tilly Tinker (33/1), Avago Josh (50/1)
The unraced ROMANTICISM hardly faces the most daunting of opposition on her racecourse debut with the reasonably exposed but consistent enough Benjamin Thomas and Castle Hill Cassie surely the only conceivable dangers. Sir Michael Stoute tends to farm such moderate maidens in the North, and this War Front filly is strongly fancied to make a winning debut.
