Form & Verdict
125,000gns yearling; first foal of a fair 5f-5.4f winner (RPR 89), herself a half-sister to Group 6f winner Anjaal; represents a powerful stable and he's one to take seriously, especially if backed.

Made a winning debut at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in January but hasn't built on it in seven starts since and didn't see this trip out in his one attempt; enough to prove.

Won at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) on his debut in January but he's 0-6 since and has finished down the field in last three runs; edging down the weights but he needs to raise his game on this switch to Polytrack; cheekpieces removed after one use.

Down the field in his first two starts but showed much more at Newbury on his third outing, keeping on steadily under a sympathetic ride (reportedly made a respiratory noise, as he had on his second start); underwent wind surgery shortly afterwards and he has also had a gelding operation since last seen; looks the type to take a big step forward this season.

Easy to back on her Thirsk debut (5f, good to soft) last July but having been slowly away and green early, she finished with a rattle to take second of the 13 runners despite running into plenty of trouble; sets the standard and she's open to considerable improvement too.

Debut effort at Thirsk last summer (5f, good to soft) was full of promise; off the track for six months prior to her return at Newcastle 26 days ago, where she weakened tamely in the closing stages having been weak in the betting; too soon to write her off given that debut promise and she could be sharper with the Newcastle spin behind her.
