Half-brother to 6f/7f winner Doctor Khan Junior (including Tapeta; RPR 98); dam a useful winning sprinter (Group 3; 111), herself a sister to high-class sprinter Hoof It; fair standard to aim at on debut but he's certainly bred for the job.

All wins on AW but he is fully effective on turf; unplaced in two C&D runs this year, however, and hopes appear to rest on the return of a visor giving him a lift.

Rated 5lb higher than when a close fifth in this race 12 months ago; has done well on AW since, winning at Southwell (well backed) on New Year's Day and finishing a good fourth at Newcastle four weeks ago; not obviously thrown in but could still have a bit more to come.

Heavily backed when winning a 6f handicap at Southwell on New Year's Day; ran well over C&D a fortnight later but short of his best twice since, including after wind surgery when eighth of 22 at York last month; returning to AW can help and seems highly likely to run his race.

Midifled finish on his Pontefract debut last September; well backed and took a big step forward when readily seeing off eight rivals in a 5f maiden at Wolverhampton three weeks ago; capable of further progress but he'll need it if he's to overcome a 7lb penalty.
