Mehmas colt cost 80,000euros as a yearling, is brother to 5f winner Khabib (inc 2yo/AW) and half-brother to 7f winner Threebars; dam 5f/6f winner (inc 2yo/AW); favourite on Naas debut in May but ultimately no match for an easy winner in what is looking now an ordinary enough maiden; has had a break since and improvement likely.

Hasn't built on her promising 2yo debut at Naas 12 months ago; big prices and well beaten in three runs for John Butler this year, including tried in cheekpieces last month; blinkers are now reached for; only of interest if attracting market support.

Sole win (from 23 attempts) came in AW classified in January; however, she's run well off this mark in turf handicaps on her last four starts (5f/6f, good/good to firm) and there's every chance she'll be bang there.
