February foal by Expert Eye; 37,000gns foal, 55,000gns yearling; half-brother to Italian winners Fair Excel (7.5f 2yo/6f) and Golden Dubawi (1m1f including 2yo); dam Italian 7f 2yo/1m Listed winner (RPR 93), out of Italian 1m3f Group 3 winner; yard has a good record with 2yos first time out and interesting to see how he fares in the market, expecially in relation to stablemate Lightning Point.

Runner-up in her first two starts at Saint-Cloud (4.5f, very soft) and Southwell (5f, Tapeta), but finished well behind the winner each time and may have achieved more when fourth of nine at Ripon (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; cheekpieces given a go and she should run her race, but looks vulnerable to an improver; stable also runs Fly Pass.
