Half-brother to two sprint winners who looked to find 7f streching him on his debut here in February; built on that when winning tidily at Kempton (6f), an effort that's been very well advertised since; open to further improvement under the penalty.

90,000gns yearling; third foal; half-brother to winners Queen's Guard (6f including AW; RPR 97) and So Sophia (US 5.5f turf); dam 6f AW 2yo winner (88); appeal on paper but has a good standard to aim at on debut; check the betting.

Form & Verdict
Looked a nice prospect when making a successful debut at Windsor (6f, good) last August, but proved awkward when finishing in midfield at Thirsk (6f, good) the following month; gelded since; half-brother to an AW winner and respected on that debut effort from a good draw, despite the penalty.

Ran out the ready winner of a 6f novice on his racecourse debut last summer; disappointed at Thirsk one month later but he was back on the up with a good second at Kempton on his return three weeks ago (conceding 5lb to a promising winner); remains capable of better and he is well drawn to attack; respected.

Much bigger price than third-placed Wezzeer on debut at Kempton 23 days ago (6f) but looked more streetwise than that rival, holding every chance over 1f out, before weakening into fourth; minor placing may be best hope here.

800,000euros Breeze-up 2yo; found one too good when favourite for three-runner novice at Newcastle on debut in September but could only manage midfield on reappearance at Kempton (6f, AW) last month; overhauled inside the final furlong after hanging left over this C&D 15 days ago and the blinkers now go on; a contender again.
