2/1

Stepped up on debut when second of 8 in maiden (9/2) at Yarmouth. Disappointed at Windsor next time but worth another chance in this company back from a break.

5/4

Foaled March 20. Expert Eye colt. Half-brother to 5f-6f winner Major Blue and 6f winner Blue Cable. Dam, ran twice, closely related to useful 5f winner Siren's Gift out of smart winner up to 7f (2-y-o 5f winner) Blue Siren. Needs considering starting out in a weak novice.

Much better for debut when third of 9 in novice at Lingfield (5f, AW, 3/1) 58 days ago, doing best of those that didn't race in front rank. Likely to progress further.

Visually (5/4), Arctic Wind (2/1), Baileys Ontherocks (17/2), Solar Invincible (12/1), Irish Fusilier (16/1), Southern Spirit (16/1), Control Room (20/1)

A weak novice so no surprise if VISUALLY was good enough to make a winning start. Arctic Wind disappointed at Windsor but sets a clear standard on previous form.
