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.

Got up close home at Haydock (7f, good) last July in his only 2yo start and reappeared with a clearcut novice win at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in April; never able to challenge in a steadily run French Listed race (1m4f, very soft) five weeks ago, coming fifth of eight but earning his highest rating; could easily remain capable of better but it is needed.

Bumped into a smart opponent when second on his Newbury debut last April (1m3f, good); absent 378 days (gelded) prior to an odds-on reverse at Southell seven weeks ago, a race where he looked a tricky ride; now tongue tied; remains capable of better.

Best effort when third on 1m4f Newmarket handicap debut (good) 12 days ago, staying on in a style which suggests there could be more to come as his stamina is drawn out.

Third at Nottingham (1m, soft) on second start last October and not discredited when 25-1 in a novice won under Sorin Moldoveanu by a much shorter-priced stablemate at Southwell (1m4f, AW) on April reappearance; 575,000gns yearling whose dam was useful over 1m4f+, so all in all he needs a close look on handicap debut.

Won good-ground bumper at Worcester on debut last September; however, down the field at big odds at Southwell (1m3f/1m4f, AW) on his first two Flat starts and a transformation is needed.
