Overcame the outside stall when making a winning debut at Wolverhampton (5f, AW; 11-2) this month; the form has been franked, but this looks harder.
Landed quite a gamble when making a successful debut at Bath (5f, good; 15-8) 16 days ago, beating a subsequent winner with a lot more in hand than the neck margin would suggest; major player.
Sent off 7-1 when beaten just over 4l into fourth of 13 behind Ziggy Starshine at Bath (5f, good) 16 days ago; 5lb better off and open to improvement, but it will be needed.
March foal by St Mark's Basilica; 100,000gns yearling; dam 7.6f winner (RPR 82), sister to UAE 1m1f Group 2 winner Valiant Prince, half-sister to 1m4f Group 3 winner Klassique, out of 1m Group 1 winner; stable can get them ready first time, but she may appreciate further in due course.
February foal by Oasis Dream; £50,000 yearling; closely related to 6f 2yo winner Apache Green (RPR 79); dam unraced half-sister to Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint winner Belvoir Bay, out of 1m winner; bred for speed, but stable's 2yo newcomers are usually better for a run.
March foal by Minzaal; 75,000gns yearling; dam maiden half-sister to winners Sumiha (1m4f Group 3) and Suwayra (1m 2yo), out of Group-placed 1m2f winning half-sister to 1m Group 3 winner Sinawann; bred to stay further but the stable has made a bright start to the season with its 2yos; respected.
