30,000 gns foal. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 1½m Claymore and 7f/1m winner Bacarda. 22/1, shaped well considering how green he was when third of 7 in maiden at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) on debut in September. That form has worked out well and looks the one to beat.

Forecasts

Balzac (1/1), Magic Trip (13/8), Winding Stream (11/4), Fizzy Bear (16/1), Dijon Gone (50/1), Madame Passant (66/1), Bu Hail (66/1), Alembic (80/1), Pureis King (100/1), Cribbins (150/1), Claytons Kolatonic (200/1), Tiny Tiger (300/1), West Hill Rosie (300/1)

Verdict

BALZAC showed plenty to work on when third in a warm Newmarket maiden in the autumn and should take the beating. Penalised winners Winding Stream and Magic Trip look the only realistic threats in a thin novice.
