Form & Verdict
Out of half-sister to Group 1-winning sprinter Muhaarar; immediate promise in useful 6f maiden at Leicester on debut and was duly too good for his rivals when switched to AW at Lingfield last month (6f); disappointing if he doesn't progress a good deal further; the one to beat despite penalty.

Began 2023 with two AW wins; fair Listed fifth last May and was beaten just 2l into fifth in a red-hot race here on handicap debut last June; raced too freely back from 322 days off at Newmarket three weeks ago (6f, good) but that might have got the freshness out of him and he did move well for a long way; the drop to 5f is an interesting move and he appeals as being ahead of this mark; his only run on slower than good was on debut.

Began 2023 with two AW wins; fair Listed fifth last May and he was beaten just 2l into fifth in a red-hot race at York on his handicap debut last June; the first three home in that race are now BHA-rated 17lb, 23lb and 13lb higher respectively so it's unlikely this mark is beyond him; absence to contend with (has been gelded) but he's a fascinating runner.

Beaten a head at Newcastle (6f, AW) in February and would surely have won with a clear run; backward steps in two further starts over 6f on Tapeta, the latest his handicap debut in early April (last of nine) and he's since been gelded; moves up from 6f and player if judged on that one, best run.

Made the frame in two AW handicaps this spring (1m/8.6f) but was safely held in basement-grade classified on last month's turf debut (7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces); clearly needs to do much better over new trip here.
