SALLAAL is very much on the up and still has few miles on the clock. He can make a successful transition to listed company. C&D winner Cicero's Gift is feared most.

Verdict
Promising sort who found further improvement when readily winning 6-runner handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm, 4/6) 62 days ago. Looks ready for step up in grade and it's likely we haven't seen the best of him yet.
