Travelled well when second over an extended 7f at Ffos Las (heavy) on debut and, dropped to 6f, he comfortably land the odds at Pontefract (good to soft) 16 days later; this demands a lot more but he does looks sure to improve again.

April foal by Lope Y Fernandez; 52,000gns yearling; half-brother to winners Kullazain (Group-placed 5f 2yo; RPR 96) and Swayze (5f/6f including 2yo/AW; 94); dam 5f 2yo winner (82), half-sister to useful/prolific 5f/6f winner Mokaatil, out of Listed-placed 6f 2yo winner; bred more for speed on the dam's side, but the stable's newcomers always have to be respected; market informative.

Much his best effort when second in a Pontefract maiden (6f, good to soft) last September; well below that level in four subsequent starts and is plummeting in the handicap; cheekpieces need to have a positive effect.

Left his first two runs well behind when 80-1 second on stable debut at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) last month; tailed off there since (6f, soft) on his first nursery start but endured a wide passage from the outside draw and he's not written off in view of his previous promise.

Weak in the market and sent off at 11-1 when seventh of nine on last month's debut at Ripon (6f, good), beaten nearly 6l; considerable improvement is needed if he's to threaten this afternoon.

The form of his latest seventh of eight at Southwell (7f) has taken some knocks and he was never the slightest threat in a steadily run affair; did plug on though and he could prove a different proposition now up in trip for his handicap debut; Dan Skelton still seeking a first Flat winner but that is unlikely to remain the case for long and Rossa Ryan has been booked; one to consider.
