£46,000 3yo; half-brother to winners Saracen Knight (1m 2yo/1m4f; RPR 99) and Beauty Stone (1m3f-1m4f; 88); dam unplaced 7f 2yo (50), half-sister to US 1m2f Grade 1 winner Debussy & 8.5f Group 3 winner Laugh Aloud; interesting newcomer and the market should be informative with his trainer also running Bold Ribb.

Seven-race maiden with an up-and-down profile but her best efforts bring her into it, notably when just missing out in a 1m handicap at Gowran in July (RPR 83); however, didn't run great on soft ground the once and she's trying new headgear.

Respected connections but has posted RPRs of 67 and 64 in two 1m2f maidens; that's modest fare and he's probably one for handicaps.
