52,000euros foal, 180,000euros yearling; fifth foal; half-brother to two winners, notably The Wizard Of Eye (6f turf 2yo and 1m AW Listed); dam placed 7f AW; stable is 1-1 with 2yos this year (well-backed favourite) and this Havana Grey colt is an interesting contender, especially if supported.

Highly tried after his winning 2yo debut; had wind surgery prior to his return last month and he has shaped okay in both starts this summer, latterly a close fourth over 7f here 18 days ago; returning to 6f will suit but a step forward is required.

Fifth foal; closely related to 6f winner First Folio (RPR 106); dam 1m2f winner (83) out of well-bred 7f winner; this Harry Angel colt represents a powerful 2yo stable and he could go well, particularly if backed.

A fairly useful winning juvenile for Richard Hannon but he's yet to fire in three runs for his current yard, off four months before coming in fifth of six in 5f Pontefract handicap 26 days ago; he needs to take a big step forward.
