240,000euros yearling; by Sea The Moon out of a close relation to 1m2f Group 1 winner Sultanina; second favourite for seven-runner maiden at Haydock (7f, good) last July, which he nearly blew when making an awkward start and first off the bridle but he came from the back and stuck his neck out well for a narrow win; absent since but should be open to major improvement on AW debut.

Couldn't justify favouritism on debut and bumped into the subsequent 2,000 Guineas winner next time, but made no mistake at Thirsk (1m, good) in August; flopped when favourite for five-runner nursery at Newcastle (1m, AW) in October but gelded since; sire gets plenty who stay; not dismissed.

Couldn't justify favouritism at Haydock on debut (7f, good) but shaped well in third; second to Royal Lodge winner in a hot Newbury maiden (1m, good) next time and he made no mistake at Thirsk a fortnight later (1m, good; form worked out well); open to further progress and could have been let into nurseries lightly.

Softening ground wouldn't harm having won his 7f Sandown nursery on soft and run perfectly well off his 4lb higher mark at Doncaster (good to soft); this is a different kettle of fish altogether and he probably lacks the scope for the improvement that he'll need.

Bounced back with a bang from a disappointing nursery debut when responding well to see off a short-priced favourite over 7f at Sandown (soft) 12 days ago; a 4lb rise doesn't look too severe with the front two clear and he's one of few in the line-up who has proved he's effective on going softer than good.
