Frankel brother to 1m 2yo winner Latest Generation (RPR 105) and their 5f-1m winning dam was a Group 1 winner as 2yo and 3yo; fifth of seven from the back in Ayr novice (7f, soft) three weeks ago showed ability but he hung badly left from over 1f out and others in this have accomplished more.

Comes with a degree of risk having been turned over at odds of 1-8 in Pontefract maiden (1m) on seasonal debut, extending his seconditis; otherwise again sets a useful standard on his Group 3 effort at Newbury (7f, soft) last October; siblings include a 1m2f winner.

His late headway to be 4l fifth of nine in novice at Pontefract (1m, good to soft; 125-1) 16 days ago was easily his best effort and contained some promise, but it was modest form.

The future looked promising when he was a close third of ten to a classy rival on comeback at Newbury (1m2f, good) and he was up against it over 1m4f on his next two starts as well; couldn't muster the pace to challenge in a 1m1f handicap at Newmarket recently but should have more going for him over this trip on AW debut; has worn these aids before but not together.

800,000gns Sea The Stars yearling, brother to multiple Group 3 winner Al Aasy (1m2f-1m5f); turned over at odds-on in three of his four starts but brings some serious form to today's handicap debut, having been third in blanket finish to a strong novice at Newbury (1m2f, good; hooded) on reappearance and second to Galiyan, who was sixth when favourite for yesterday's Queen's Vase, in maiden at Chester (1m4f, good); gelded since and now tongue tied.

This year's wins at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) and Thirsk (1m4f, good) were from the front; last two defeats suggest his progress may have levelled out, for all that he was tried over 1m6f both times; probably needs his best yet.
